He said they were small triplexes one red, one white, one blue then a space then repeated again for blocks. He also told me that they lived there until they could work and afford to buy a house. Is this in the Saxonburg area does someone know ? Where can I locate information on this "Red Row Housing/Shanties"? Also what was the main work industry that they would have been coming to America for ? I was told the Mills ? What kind of Mills then and what were the names/locations ? Where can I find this information ? Thanks, Maggie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
