Lou Hotlzman's mother, Fannie, outside 99 Orchard Street
  • To support his own claim to the Lower East Side’s immigrant and working-class history, Lou Holtzman, co-owner of 99 Orchard Street, posted photographs of his family on his anti–Tenement Museum website, http://tenementnauseum.com. This photograph of his mother, Frances, was taken outside 99 Orchard Street in 1939 and recalls similar images of Tenement Museum “alumni.” Courtesy of Lou Holtzman.
