What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Lakewood
Weingart, Boyar and Taper put up these tracts in about three years, making this one of America's first mass-produced suburbs. Neighbors may share a chimney design but not its condition, so the camera report says what is true for this house instead of relying on the floor plan. Salt in the air, plain sun and about seventy years of weather have all reached these crowns, caps and joints. The 1933 quake predates the tracts, so wear here is mostly age. Wood fires stop on no-burn days, a reason to note the fuel.
