Photographer Dan McNulty was a Jersey City resident who spent most
of his time working in his familyas funeral home. McNultyas
photography was a mere sideline, but this fact did not affect the
high artistic quality of the images of the city that he produced
during the 1940s and a50s. During the two decades of McNultyas
work, Jersey City experienced many changes. The powerful political
machine of Mayor Frank Hague was brought down after thirty years
in 1949 by the reform team of John V. Kenny, and this period also
saw the end of the cityas success in the railroad industry. In the
1950s, the first large housing projects were constructed in the
city; other sweeping developments in this sphere would follow in
the 1960s. McNulty documented these changes and others that
resulted during this twenty year period through dramatic
photographs of vacant railroad terminals, dynamic commercial and
residential districts, successful factories and manufacturing
plants, and significant WPA projects such as the Jersey City
Medical Center and Roosevelt Stadium.
