Full title:Closing of the Jerome Center, Denson, Arkansas. Block 44 in the Jerome Center is typical of the blocks in which the residents attempted to make the tar paper barracks more livable and homelike. Many beautiful flower beds were evidenced throughout the center and the evacuees were concerned about the fate of their carefully tended gardens after the center closed. Many lost interest, however, on hearing that they were about to be moved again. Note: Contrast this scene with picture No. [6B] I-204. Photographer: Mace, Charles E. Denson, Arkansas.
