A row of railroad families' cottages in the old West Virginia Pulp & Paper "company town" of Cass within what is now (2015) the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park in West Virginia. Nearby are old lumber and planing mills and the 11-mile railroad line that carried logs down from the mountainside during the period of widespread logging and deforestation in the early 21st Century. The old logging locomotives now carry carloads of tourists up and down the mountain. The workers' cabins were nearly uniform in design. Workers had the option of buying or renting the homes; opne advantage to the former was that one could build on additions with free lumber provided by the company. The structures consisted of a living room, dining room and kitchen downstairs, and three bedrooms upstairs. Bathrooms began to beadded in the 1920's. When a home was sold, the deed included a clause that the home could be sold only back to the company for the exact amount it was purchased. Photo by Carol Highsmith.
