Subject	South Carolina, Georgetown County Lumbering
Description	This is a back view of the ACL office building. Directly in front ran Fraser Street, presently referred to as S. Fraser Street. Across the street a row of houses that the company built for its workers is seen. The ACL was a giant corporation in its time. When it came to Georgetown around 1900, it created "New Town" which was the mill and all the houses for workers of Fraser Street. Numerous rows of houses were built. All of the houses on a row were alike, but the rows were different. There were single family dwellings, such as these pictured with a fenced-in yard; there were many duplexes; some one-story units and some two-story single family houses smaller than these seen and with less yard. The executives had very large single accomodations on Winyah Road. Although many of these places have been torn down, there are still examples of each type in existence.
