The Lower East Side Tenement Museum preserves two tenement buildings on Orchard Street, where thousands of immigrants lived between the 1860s and the 1930s. Guided tours move through restored apartments reconstructed from the lives of specific families who once occupied them. The building itself, with its narrow stairwells and airshafts, is the primary artifact.
