The house on the Bakersfield lot

California · United States · Manor

Three are described here. One is a young man seen hammering, who fell to his death while the house was being built in 1911.

This house at Bakersfield, California was built in 1911 and three separate figures are described in it.

The first is a young man, seen hammering. He is understood to be a workman who fell to his death during construction.

The second is an elderly woman who stands and watches.

The third is a man everybody describes the same way, as angry, and the accounts differ on who he was.

A workman still at his work is one of the oldest forms these reports take, and it turns up wherever a building cost somebody their life. Construction in 1911 had no fall protection worth the name and a death on a domestic job was not unusual enough to make the papers.

The three are reported separately and behave differently, which is what makes the account worth keeping rather than a general impression of an uneasy building.

It is a working office.
