August 30, 1944. "Felix Fuld Houses. Newark Housing Authority, 57 Sussex Avenue, Newark, New Jersey." Gottscho-Schleisner photo. View full size.
The photo isn't flipped because the push panel on the top of the trashcan still says "PUSH" the right way round!
[It was flipped, until we fixed it. Capisce? - Dave]
Noticed picture got flipped. Maybe someone saw the apartment number was backwards.
Felix Fuld was Louis Bamberger's sister's husband. Together, they owned Bambergers, which was THE New Jersey department store. They all lived together on a large estate in South Orange NJ which was beautifully landscaped by the Olmsted firm. (If Shorpy ever runs out of Library Of Congress pictures, they'd do well to raid the National Park Service Olmsted archives.). Right before the market crash, Bambergers was sold to Macy's. The Bambergers and Fulds proceeded to give away gigantic sums of money. Originally, they wanted their estate to become a think tank of sorts, but were later convinced it would be better if it were to be what became the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. The IAS was, among other things, Einstein's employer. The Bamberger estate ended up as a Veterans hospital, and Bambergers in Newark is a server farm.
Is this photo flipped/reversed?
