Hi all,
I put this is Shades of Whitechapel since it gives us a glimpse of what the crowds at Victorian Workingman's lodging houses might have looked like. If there is a better place, let me know.
Here are a few photographs from the Municipal Workingman's Lodging House(s) in New York City, taken circa 1909-1917.
From the awesome website Shorpy, where you can view images full-size. For these, search term "lodging".
