The rear of several of the worker's dwellings, circa late 1800s, located on the grounds at Batsto Historic Village in Hammonton, New Jersey.  Workers in the village would sometimes live in one of the several identical swellings that lined the road on the west side of the village.  Oddly the one in the foreground seems to be built without two of the windows and the chimney for some reason.

Tilt and swing movements on LF cameras are a beautiful thing :--)

A series of buildings and worker's huts found at Batsto Historic Village in Hammonton, New Jersey.  Batsto Village is like a snapshot of time from our past where a small farming and industrial complex demonstrates what life was like in the 1700s and 1800s.  It has cottages, barns, a mansion, blacksmith shop, grist mill, saw mill, general store, iron furnace, glass works, ice house and a lake with a dam, all very picture worthy.  It's a nice place to spend a couple of hours photographing or to take the family.   More information on Batsto Village, on their web site: BatstoVillage.org
