Ohio Guide Photographs
Description: Reverse reads: "District #12; October 28, 1936; A typical scene in Cincinnati's worst slums. Hundreds of such buildings were razed to make way for a modern housing program in the basin of the city of Cincinnati, undertaken by the Federal Government as a P. W. A. project. Photo by WPA Art Project's Photographer." Address on building reads "524." Most likely the building was on the West end, or "Bucktown" where the housing authority cleared away Laurel Homes and Lincoln Court public housing projects. View on Ohio Memory.
