Tenement on Perry Street, New York
1940

A black and white photograph of a vintage kitchen corner with a window. A towel hangs on a string across the window, and a broom leans against the wall. An old-fashioned stove with pots on top is next to the window, and a cabinet with its doors ajar sits below. Various kitchen items and containers are scattered on the surfaces, and the walls show signs of wear and peeling paint.
