The image shows a black and white photograph of an indoor scene that appears to be from the early 20th century. It depicts three individuals, likely a family, engaged in some form of craft or work at a table covered with cloth. The person on the left is seated, facing the others, while the two individuals on the right are standing and facing away from the camera. They seem to be working together on a task involving fabric, possibly making tags for garments, as indicated by the text description. The setting suggests a domestic environment with traditional furnishings such as chairs and a dresser visible in the background. The style of clothing and interior decoration is consistent with mid-20th century America. It's important to note that this description is based on the information available and does not include any assumptions about the individuals' identities or personal stories beyond what can be discerned from the image itself.

Family of Mrs. Donovan, 293 1/2 Highland Street, Roxbury, Mass., tying tags for Dennison Co. This is the family that has worked on tags for 7 years and makes an average from that work $30 a month. One month they made $42. Mrs. D. said: "Will we ever be able to do it again?" All the children aged 13, 9, 11, 7 and the twins 4 1/2 years, help the mother. They often have to work late at night to get done. See Home Work report. Location: Roxbury, Massachusetts.

This is a historical black and white photograph featuring a group of children sitting on wooden steps. There are six children in the picture, ranging in age from young to teenagers. They appear to be engaged in an activity together, as suggested by their focused expressions. The setting looks like it could be a family home, with a brick wall visible in the background and what appears to be a chair on the left side of the frame. The image has a text overlay that reads "Family of Mrs. Donovan, 293 1/2 Highland Street, Roxbury, Mass., tying tags for Dennison Co." This indicates that the family was involved in making tags for an organization named Dennison Co. for seven years, and their work generated an average income of $30 per month. At one point, they made as much as $42 in a single month. The mother's concern about whether they would be able to continue this work is noted, along with the fact that all children aged 13, 9, 11, and 7, as well as twins who were four years old at the time, helped their mother. They often had to work late into the night to meet their deadlines. The image also has a reference to "Home Work report," which suggests it is part of a historical record or documentation related to home-based work and labor practices in the past. For visually impaired users, this description provides information about the content of the photograph without relying on visual details that might not be clear due to th [...]

The new Arborway garage would let the #MBTA store and recharge 200 new battery-electric buses to serve routes in #JamaicaPlain, Hyde Park, and #Roxbury. It could also free up enough land to build hundreds of new affordable homes, a new grocery store, and other neighborhood services right next to Forest Hills station:
