Sheetsville: 1941
December 1941. "Factory workers' homes. Coatesville, Pennsylvania." Medium format negative by Arthur Rothstein, Office of War Information. View full size.
Broad Way
The 4 tracks you see are the Pennsylvania Railroad's "Broad Way", used by their NYC to Chicago "Broad Way Limited" luxury passenger train. That train passed here on the center rails. After passing Coatsville, the next stop would be Lancaster, PA. Around 1930, the newspapers would shorten the name to "Broadway", and the RR would follow.
A Monday
My mother ALWAYS did the laundry on a Monday.

Laundry day 76 years later
The little store at the left is at Charles Street and West Fifth Avenue. The alley down the middle of Sheetsville is Spruce Street. It's still laundry day.
