  12. What is a tenement? • A multi-unit dwelling consisting several apartments.

  13. Did you know? At the turn of the twentieth century almost half of the American population were living in tenement buildings.

  14. Immigrants and Tenements • Poor immigrants flocked to tenements as places to live. • Appealing to immigrants because of the low cost. • Uncovered by muckraker, Jacob Riis, tenements usually had many delinquents and organized crime.

  15. Floor Plan • Many were as small as 325 square feet • There would be 10-12 people living in one space.

  16. Unsanitary Conditions • There were no laws to enforce living standards. • All that was necessary was a fire escape and one outhouse for every twenty people. • So many people live in each that they became filthy. • Public baths were made as a result of poor hygiene.

  17. Crowding in Tenements • Four families would fit in an area fit for one family. • Multiple children slept in one bed which helped with the heat issues in the winter.

  18. Did you know? Seventy out of one hundred deaths in the 1840’s were among people living in tenements. Most of them occurred in children. Crowding caused disease to spread much more easily throughout the tenements.

  19. Apartments Today • There have been laws passed to improve conditions in apartments today drastically. • Many good sized apartments are between 800-1000 square feet. • They normally do not hold nearly as many people as tenements did.

  20. Efforts to solve problems • Settlement Houses: Community centers for the poor provided day care, recreation, English lessons, hygiene, cooking • Jane Addams opens the 1st • settlement house in USA: • Hull House … Chicago slums
