A handful of vacant buildings - mostly in ruins as this one was, remain available in Richmond (population 20,000 before the Yards were built; at year's end the Yards will employ 85,000.) These long-condemned and long-unoccupied structures are being made into habitable dormitories. At best, when all are so rebuilt, they will sleep only a few hundred more men, will accomodate [sic] no families. 6
