Fifth Street: 1935
November 1935. "Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Stepped row of houses on a hillside street." 8x10 inch nitrate negative by Walker Evans for the U.S. Resettlement Administration. View full size.
Breathtaking
All Shorpy photos are gems, but this is one of those that takes your breath away.
The beauty of the composition, use of telephoto lens, the 8x10 nitrate negative and all the extreme resolution and depth it provides, and the photographer's processing skills combine to form this artistic masterpiece.
Steepness!
Bet it's slippery in the rain and snow!
Whatever that is hanging from the power line reminds me of the old sneaker trick boys used to play on the unwary going home from school. Bullies or unworthy friends.
Your classic tradeoff
I would love the view from the top house but I'd rather live in the bottom one when it's time to lug home the grocery bags.
Still there
It's all pretty much extant. At some point most of the wooden porch rails were replaced with metal and some well-advised handrails for the steps were added.
Out the door
and skateboard to church in record time.
