Around that time-roughly 40
years ago-a travelling camera
man came to town with a tripod
and a tin-type camera.
His name was Frederick A..
Schultz, and he was 20 years old.
He liked the looks of Washington,
so after a quick trip to the South
where he took pictures of folks
at S cents for the picture plus
5 cents for the frame-he hustled
back and set himself up in busi-
ness. taking photographs for real
estate brokers and builders.
Still in Business.
He is still in business today.
and in his files is a rare collection
of housing photographs, which
throw into sharp focus the change
in property values today from
two generations ago.
Some of Mr.. ,Schutz's photo
graphs of low-cost houses taken
nearly 40 years ago are repro
duced on this page.
II used to ride bicycle all over
the outlying sections of town to
get them" Mr.. Schultz said today.
Il used to charge SO for 100
postcard-size pictures. That was
my regular price to brokers. They
used to get them by the hundreds
to send them out to prospects or
other dealers"
When Mr.. Schultz proposed the
idea of taking pictures of newly
completed houses, ne said, real
estate brokers swamped him with
business for awhile.
II was making 500 and $125 a
month, clear" he explained, land
that was good in those days.

going on then, but they had to

Mr.. Schultz said he had a part

that gave him time to take the
photographs during the day.
Bathroom as Darkroom.
II was living in rooming house
and would develop the films in the
bathroom and Ak the prints and
then wash them in the bathtub."
The photographer said taking
the real estate photographs taught
him to know the new parts OF
town and gave him an insight into
the real estate business.

Many of the building firms of
the period covered by Mr.. Schultz

istence.
Old-timers in the real estate
field in this area, however. point
out that in that era a great num-
Der of row houses were being con-
structed, with many available to
average buyers at $500 to $3.50.
Some low-cost houses were avail
able at prices even below $4,000.
But that was at time when

Although no actual estimate is
available as to the total cost Of
such a program, informed sources
indicated that a conservative es-
innate would be 55,000,000.
This estimate would figure out
to about $4,000 per public hous-
ing family unit, including land
cost. This cost admittedly would
be low for this area, considering
that the National Capital Housing
Authority says the average need IS
for dwellings having three bed
