Tenement Conditions in Chicago is a historical book written by Robert Hunter and published in 1901. The book sheds light on the living conditions of the poor in Chicago during the late 19th century. Hunter, a social worker and journalist, conducted extensive research in the tenement buildings of Chicago to document the appalling conditions in which people lived. He describes the overcrowded and unsanitary living spaces, lack of proper ventilation, and absence of basic amenities like running water and toilets. The book also highlights the impact of these conditions on the health and well-being of the residents, including the spread of diseases like tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Hunter's work was instrumental in bringing attention to the need for housing reform in Chicago and inspired many social reformers to take action. The book is a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in the history of urban poverty and social reform in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
