Photo 2: Ironmaster's House and Outbuildings.

Photo 3: Tenant Houses.

Photo 3 shows three tenant houses (Number 13 on Illustration 2). The one on the left is a two-family house.

Questions for Photos 2 and 3

1. Compare the view of the Big House in Photo 2 with the view in Illustration 2. What differences can you find? Which gives you a better idea of the size of the house?

2. Examine Photo 3. In 1855, there were 14 tenant houses renting for $12 to $25 per year. Rent was deducted from the workers' pay. How do you think that might have affected relations between workers and owners?

3. Do the illustrations or the photographs give you a better understanding of the site? Explain your answer.
