Progressive Era Immigration Insights

The document describes three photographs taken in New York City in the late 1800s/early 1900s by Jacob Riis showing living conditions of immigrants. The first photo depicts lodgers in a crowded tenement paying 5 cents each for space on the floor. The second shows the rear of a tenement building on Roosevelt Street. The third photo shows a cellar being used for habitation on Ludlow Street. All three photos illustrate the poor living situations immigrants faced in urban areas during the Progressive Era.
