EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a slice of history in High Point, North Carolina during the Great Depression. The image showcases the homes of skilled furniture workers from Tomlinson Chair Manufacturing Company. In an effort to secure their own piece of the American dream, these hardworking individuals purchased a small parcel of land just outside the city limits and built charming cottages with their own hands. Taken in 1936 by Lewis Hine, an influential American photographer known for his dedication to social reform, this photograph serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of ordinary people during challenging times. Hine used his camera as a tool for documenting social change and shedding light on important issues affecting communities across America. The popularity of this cottage-style housing among furniture workers speaks volumes about their determination to create stable lives for themselves and their families amidst economic hardship. These modest yet well-constructed homes symbolize hope, unity, and self-sufficiency. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us not only of our nation's past struggles but also highlights how individuals can come together to overcome adversity. It is a poignant reminder that even in times of great difficulty, there is always room for resilience, innovation, and progress.
