In 1930 this house was owned by Annie Monks, a 58-year old presser for an underwear company. Annie lived with her 56-year old sister Margaret, an inspector for an underwear company; and 79-year old boarder Jeremiah Sullivan. Part of this house was rented for $47.50 a month by Martin Dowd, a 49-year old flour salesman from Ireland. Martin lived with his 47-year old wife Helen and their three children: 23-year old William, a truck driver; 20-year old Alfred, a truck driver; and 13-year old Helen. The building was valued at $10,000.
