EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures the exterior of a Type house at Garden Homes in Kern County, California. Amidst the backdrop of the Great Depression, this image showcases the simple yet rustic charm of the bungalow-style houses that were being constructed as part of a model village to provide affordable housing for farmers and laborers. Twenty of these homes had been completed and occupied on a tract adjoining the Arvin Migratory Labor Camp. Rent for these homes was a modest eight dollars and twenty cents monthly, which included electricity and water. The homes were built in the countryside, surrounded by vegetable gardens, reflecting the self-sufficient and communal spirit of the time. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured the essence of rural life during the 1930s. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the American people during a time of economic hardship. The image was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), an agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. The photograph was later taken up by the Office of War Information (OWI) during World War II, highlighting the importance of documenting the lives of ordinary Americans during times of crisis. The Type house at Garden Homes stands as a symbol of hope and perseverance, a reminder of a period in American history when community and cooperation were essential for survival.
