    DescriptionThis frontal view of a tenement interior preserves a slice of architectural history. The work's greater legacy is its reflection of social history. The flapping laundry infuses the work with a profound humanism. In isolating and monumentalizing the slum, Abbott elevates the lowly subject to a thing of importance and sympathetic contemplation.
