Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Lodging House Problem in Boston
The lodging-house of any sort has claimed comparatively little attention in the literature of the housing question, and the room ing-house specifically has fared still worse. The only definition we have been able to find, outside the dictionaries, is the following: A lodging-house shall be taken to mean and include any house or building or portion thereof in which persons are harbored, or received, or lodged for hire, for a single night or for less than a week at one time, or any part of which is let for any person to sleep in for any term less than a week. 2 This is the definition given in the original New York tenement-house law of 1867 (chap. 908, sec. And it has been continued through all the subsequent acts with out change. It excludes the rooming-house, where the ordinary rental period is a week or a month, but which is commonly called a lodging-house, and in some cities is never called anything else. A definition so at variance with common usage is obviously defect ive, and may be positively misleading.

Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the social and economic realities of lodging houses in Boston at the turn of the 20th century. It delves into a specific type of lodging house, one that catered to the middle class ââ â clerks, salesmen, skilled mechanics, and other unmarried workers who had left their family homes in search of work and opportunity in the city. The book examines the lodging house district as a product of its time, tracing its historical evolution from a fashionable residential area to a haven for transient workers. The author analyzes the forces behind this transformation, including economic changes, the expansion of business districts, and shifts in urban living patterns. Through detailed observations and statistical data, the book reveals the inner workings of this dynamic social ecosystem. It explores the lives of lodgers ââ â their occupations, economic conditions, social interactions, and the impact of lodging on their overall well - being. The book provides a unique and insightful look into a largely overlooked aspect of urban life in the early 20th century, highlighting the challenges and complexities faced by individuals who found themselves living in these transient lodging houses. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
