     There is a Tenement Museum in Glasgow, which I tried to get to but
missed.
     I have a feeling "tenement" in Glasgow refers to any sort of row-house
type
     apartment and this one may not actually be working class, but it
sounded
     fascinating.  All the belongings of one woman who lived there for many
     years just the way it was when she died.

     I think they have some sort of preserved worker housing (boarding
houses?)
     at Lowell.
