The Company Town

Hall twin of site.ssm_halls the-company-town - the claim on the wall is the hall claim, verbatim.

Pullman from the Air
The whole company town in one aerial model - factory, houses, church, and store, every brick owned by the company.
The Company Store
Wages in, prices up, debt carried on the ledger - the store as the town's second paymaster.
The Model Cottage
Better than the tenement and never yours - the cottage as both reform and control.
1894
The strike that asked the question the town was built to avoid: who governs a city with an owner?
The Reading Wall
The hall's informational panels in sequence - the argument of the gallery told in maps, figures, and captions. Read it like a chapter.
Viewpoints
