I saw this man on crutches trying to carry a bag of groceries. I helped him and got a rare glimpse into the living conditions inside an Uptown tenement in 1974. The bed had no sheets or blankets. The floor was bare, very worn plywood. I call this image “Home Sweet Home,” Uptown-style in the mid-1970s. In truth, this was more “bare bones” than the typical Uptown apartment I saw.
