The Tenement Museum is located somewhere in the world. This museum is located in New York City. This museum focuses on America's urban immigrant history.
"Tenement" is merely an old word for what we would nowadays call an apartment building. In New York City, the term "old tenement" has a specific meaning when contrasted with "new tenement". Old tenements are building built under the "old tenement law" of NYC. They are typically shaped like dumbbells, or letter Hs. This is because of a new law that required each room to have a window opening onto a courtyard. This was done to bring in light and fresh air. Since old tenements were built between 1879 and 1901, their architectural style is typical of that era. They usually have a large stoop, an ornamented facade and a decorative parapet.
A banlieue is the outskirts of a city, when chiefly inhabited by poor people living in tenement-style housing.
Cooperatives are not associated with tenement living.
