Old Photograph Mother And Children Outside A Tenement In Aberdeeen Scotland
Old photograph of mother and children outside a tenement in Aberdeen, Scotland. A tenement was a substandard multi family dwelling occupied by the poor. Tenements make up a large percentage of the housing stock of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Glasgow tenements were built to provide high-density housing for the large number of people immigrating to the city in the 19th and early 20th century as a result of the Industrial Revolution, when the city's population boomed to more than 1 million people. Edinburgh's tenements are much older, dating from the 17th century onwards, and some were up to 15 stories high when first built, which made them the tallest houses in the world at that time.
