What a FABULOUS photo. My grandparents had various people staying in their out buildings during the Depression. I don't think they paid anything, but they helped around my grandparent's property. Grandma really enjoyed cooking for a crowd, so was always delighted to have people on the property. My grandfather built "sheds" out of whatever he could scrounge, so my vivid imagination creates a picture of their property with "mansions" like the ones in the photo! Thank you for sharing that great pic!
Great photo pappy ,people also lived in similar "shacks" in Broken Hill ...NSW ( Aust) where I lived as a child / young adult.
In the early years in B.H . people were considered "well off" if they had used hession sugar bags sewn together as internal walls, which were painted with a white wash ,there's still homes standing in BH with hession bag walls .
The external walls were made from wood and iron ,in a town where summer temps are known to reach high 40c
