Tenement Museum - Lower East Side, NY

[@bluedancelilly]

I visited this museum last summer. Wonderful place. Loved it. Worth the visit for anyone interested in urban history.

[@sylviarulesbtw]

my history class is learning about this section in US history. I wasn't assigned to watch this, this topic is just so fascinating

I was born in Brooklyn 1951 and I grew up in a tenement I would have been better off living in the subway one sink and one tub for eight families I feel for the early immigrants I was living large compared to them !!!

[@Maya-tx5xq]

The tenements were horribly unsafe. It was so much worse than you can imagine. Learning about it in school right now.

[@Beck-Stein]

This is really cool to preserve history. So easy to bash historic buildings down in the name of progress. Something about preservation that is appealing.

[@maryhadnot5153]

Movies like A Tree Grows In Brooklyn shows the family living in tenements and the Bowery Boys even On the Waterfront.

[@susanb2015]

And the Dead End Kids in Dead End.

[@tertur2957]

That must be the privilege we hear so much about.

[@nietzschesghost8529]

I came to this video after re-watching "Once Upon a Time in America." It's amazing how the tenement they show in that movie is nearly identical to this one.

[@susiemcd3941]

Fantastic video, very informative! Make me very grateful for our home.

[@joseroman1385]

Lived in the 80,s on 179 orchard st. in one of those buildings,it was a terrible experience

[@SamShakya]

I can't imagine. New York is such an evolving city. The area now is quite happening.

[@anonymous-zk3mi]

Jose Roman why? what do you mean?

[@beneiseoleinmheart5614]

🙏 life is kinder to you now

[@derekh8964]

The tenements where modelled on Glasgow tenements which where slums too

[@SamShakya]

Thank you for your input. This is very interesting but then again NYC was built by immigrants. It is such an architecturally diverse city.

[@ericgregory9478]

Poor people in Manhattan dreamed of the middle class spacious apartments of the once elegant West Bronx with lush parkland, the elegant Grand Concourse that was magnificent up until the 1960s. Those who achieved success moved up to the West Bronx. Those who achieved status moved to the concourse to live among the more established and wealthier German Jews.

[@dxmbidiots5869]

Well nice to see y’all if you here from Mrs.Fordhurt!-Ciara

[@IPULCOLUMBIA]

LOSIDA FOREVER!!!!!

[@Mortis33-o4b]

My comment was removed from this video…wow!

[@sedecim]

Least we forget how racist immigrants were towards African Americans particularly during the civil war.

[@eecortese]

That is a very interesting sociological point. Any immigrant groups in particular?

[@simpleman283]

@@eecortese Yea the ones that came in the early 20's

[@eecortese]

@Simple Man - "The early 20's", as you say, came sixty years after the Civil War, so this would be an impossibility. But I'd be interested in knowing which particular immigrant groups are you incorrectly referring?

[@ManChan-w5p]

All of these immigrants.

[@tudais]

I shopped till I dropped Orchard street

[@jennymathews2820]

Anyone else here cause of school😚✋

[@michelebump2174]

And they came LEGALLY!

[@ruthlesstouthlessrupaul]

Michele Bump fuck off

[@margaretalmodovar8401]

All they needed back then was a physical exam.

[@mikaylam2213]

LOL because they were mostly caucasian, you assume it was legal. HEY, did ya know plenty of Italian immigrants were undocumented? :) Maybe do better research before you pop off at the mouth with unsubstantiated "facts".

[@eecortese]

Get off of this site you ignorant, pathetic, miscreant.

I like the idea but I guarantee it's not representative of what tenement life was like. Where are the bedbugs? The roaches? The Flies? The excrement all around the toilet? The waste dripping from pipes? The filth and above all the smell? It's literally a sanitized version of history. I hate to say it but I think it does more harm than good.

[@imisstoronto3121]

[@abelflores1593]

Too bad they don't treat the new wave of immigrants that way give me your weak give me your poor give me your vulnerable

[@paulaharrisbaca4851]

I have to say that before welfare, people worked their way out of this because it was horrible. But LBJ's "Great Society" made it comfortable to be poor and it was patronizing as well. Obama said Americans needed to get over their pride and accept food stamps. Well, I'm sorry, but some people find that humiliation doesn't make you feel incentivized but instead, like in San Francisco, people give up, take the money and sleep like dogs on the street. No welfare back then, and only charity to help. Well, of course, you always need help for people, but helping people who actually could get along well and feel happier and self-sufficient on their own is better. Of course, abandoned people from fatherless homes punish themselves and thus we had the huge amount of homelessness drug addicts in blue cities. Dependence on the government winds up with angry frustrated people who feel locked into poverty instead of seeing the opportunity to get out at whatever cost. If you keep telling people they will never be able to get out because of "systemic racism" in a land of opportunity, that's just putting a curse on those people.
