EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of K. E. Barry's squatters shack, a humble dwelling whose location remains unknown to this day. Taken around 1911 by the talented photographer William Davis Hassler, this image showcases a dilapidated wooden cottage that stands as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of its inhabitants. The rustic charm of this American slum is evident in every detail: from the makeshift construction to the worn-out facade. Despite its modest appearance, there is an undeniable beauty in the simplicity of this squatting tower block. It serves as a poignant reminder of an era when housing was scarce and individuals had to make do with whatever they could find or create. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to early 20th century America, where squatters like K. E. Barry sought shelter amidst challenging circumstances. This photograph not only documents their struggle but also highlights their determination to survive against all odds. Preserved within the collection of New-York Historical Society, USA, this image offers us a glimpse into an often overlooked chapter in American history. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of hardship and adversity, human ingenuity can prevail. Through Hassler's lens, we witness both the fragility and strength inherent in these humble dwellings - structures that may have been deemed insignificant at first glance but held immeasurable value for those who called them home.
