Full Caption: A burned out shell is all that remains of the house vacated by the Ernest Watkins family in the Mulkey Square Area. Including the front porch where they enjoyed gathering. The house was set afire by vandals after they had moved. It took the Watkins two months to find rental housing within their price range on the other side of town in Kansas City, Kansas. Many of the low income residents living in Mulkey Square were displaced by interstate highway construction.
