This child labor series is very interesting. This was all going on just 100 years ago.
I lived in Somerville for several years. There is no Warren Street in Somerville now. There is a Warren Ave but it seems like an unlikely location for this kind of activity. South Street seems right.
This photo was invited and added to the Original Film Stills and Publicity shots group.
