Tenement houses were built primarily in urban areas during the 19th and early 20th centuries to accommodate the influx of immigrants and workers. They were typically constructed quickly and cheaply, often using wood and brick, with minimal regard for safety or sanitation. These buildings were designed to maximize occupancy, featuring small, cramped apartments with shared facilities, such as bathrooms and kitchens. The architectural style varied, but many tenements were characterized by narrow lots and multiple stories, often with fire escapes and limited windows.
