Excerpt from The Furnished Room Problem in Philadelphia
This study deals with investigations made in the furnished room district of Philadelphia. This district is difficult to define and is constantly changing. A compact furnished room district in Philadelphia may be found in the 6th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th wards, which comprise that section of the city bounded by Chestnut street on the south and Poplar street on the north, the Delaware river on the east, and Broad street on the west. For the purpose of studying the problem and reaching an historical explanation of the same we consider this large district. In our actual investigations of the roomer and his problems we have confined our researches to small typical districts.
In this study we want to find out why the furnished room district is here rather than elsewhere; through what evolutions it has gone; what may be its future development; and what new social problems it furnishes or what old ones it accentuates. We shall consider the problem of the owner of the house as well as that of the occupant.
