DESCRIPTION |
ILASCO, MO - These three unknown Ilasco
residents are sitting in front of the pump which gave their company
housing neighborhood its name. This pump was the only source of
water for the families living in this part of the LeBaume Valley. In
the background is one of the 16 houses of the neighborhood. It
consisted of 2 rooms upstairs and 2 rooms downstairs just like all the
other houses. This particular house also had a small fenced in area
for the $7.00 a month rent. Not all of the houses did. This
was the poorest of the company housing and the tenants left as soon as
possible for better housing. This combined with the fact that no new
immigrant labor was being imported meant that by the late 1920's these
houses were vacant and were subsequently torn down in the early
1930's. |
