Orchard Street Tenement

The New York Tenement museum is located at 97 Orchard Street in lower Manhattan. The museum has a good website (http://www.tenement.org) filled with lots of useful information. I would like you to focus on the information located under "Virtual Tour."

Virtual Tour (You will need Quick Time and Real Audio to get the full tour. The computers in the History Dept., Admin. 719A, have this software or you can download it from the Internet). http://www.tenement.org/Virtual_Tour/index_virtual.html

As you tour the building, what changed about the tenement overtime? Did the composition of the building's residents change? What factors contributed to the shifts?
