Plumbing and apartments, 3200 N. Piedras

Plumbing and apartments, 3200 N. Piedras

Taken in 1968, NE corner of Piedras and Porter. My first apartment after getting out of the army was this “efficiency” upstairs over a plumbing store—that neon faucet blinked in the kitchen window above all night, giving the place the aura of a ‘30s noir film from Warner Brothers. (I learned that “efficiency” means you don’t have to take many steps to get from one room to another.) There was a “Murphy” bed that folded up into the closet. It was $75 a month. (In 2012 the plumbing store is gone, and in its place is a Spanish Seventh Day Adventist church.)
