Description

Warren L Duncan, former director of the DuPont YMCA, composed and compiled these photographs while working on various projects. The images display the schools, recreational centers, homes, and gardens of DuPont employees as they developed. Duncan is able to capture the creation and development of these integral parts of a community. These photos were taken before and after a great fire in 1915, which destroyed much of Hopewell.
