{"product_id":"chelsea-in-the-20th-century-9781531621230","title":"Chelsea in the 20th Century","description":"After a devastating fire in Boston in 1873, many factories relocated to Chelsea, just a mile away across the Mystic River. An inexpensive passenger ferry also made Chelsea a convenient destination for the rising number of immigrants arriving in Boston. With jobs and affordable housing, the city by the early twentieth century had grown from a summer retreat for the wealthy to one of the most densely populated cities in America. When fire struck again, this time in Chelsea on April 12, 1908, it demolished a large section of the city. Images of the fire, the rebuilding that followed, the Great Depression, the war years, and one of the biggest changes to face the city--the building of the Mystic River Bridge--are all contained in Chelsea in the 20th Century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531621230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Margaret Harriman Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36656911679644,"sku":"9781531621230","price":27.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d2f984a6-4ffd-40d5-9b7b-50ecb9e76bbb.jpg?v=1603889301","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/chelsea-in-the-20th-century-9781531621230","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
