213 Shirley Street

This was the Harbison-Walker manager's house, at 213 Shirley Street.

The federal study of these towns explains what you are looking at without needing to say a word about this particular house. In a company town the rank was built into the street. A large and deliberately distinctive house for the man in charge, set at a distance and often up on a rise, and much smaller identical houses with no ornament on them at all for everybody else. You could read a man's place in the works off the porch he came home to.
