Children Playing Behind Building

Children Playing Behind Building
Children playing in and around dilapidated housing was a primary cause for concern among residents of Longwood. The image depicts two children playing near a house on Scovill Avenue. The state of the building and the refuse behind it are noticeable. Residents after the project was built were concerned with “Ghost Houses,” or abandoned houses that children might play in and get hurt because the structures were in such bad shape. | Creator: Jasper Wood | Date: ca. 1947-1955 | Source: Jasper Wood Collection, Cleveland Public Library Digital Gallery
