The Ponce Vertical

The Ponce Vertical

I take this road to get to Albany

and great grandson

After seeing the image for the first time I felt an instant connection to it

He has the most amazing shoes

I went up and introduced my self and he replied ROBERT HENRY CLAY

The solution was to come back and do additions to the house

He was one of 14 family members that shared this tiny house

It served as the water tower for the factory that is now Studio Plex

second and most striking to me is that he has lived most of his life living within a 10 mile radius of this stop sign

This is an old water tower at the corner of Auburn Ave and Irwin Street in the Old 4th Ward

but out of respect I changed it

When the houses were first built for the descendants of the Gee's Bend slaves the government figure out that the tiny houses were too small for the large families that occupied them
