Rowhouse Chicago: 1930s and 1940s

In the 1930s and 40s, the row house became an important form for government-subsidized public housing.  This program was interrupted by WWII and resumed afterward at a much larger scale. 

Some early examples utilized a simplified Classicism, or a Moderne design aesthetic.  But as the program continued, ornamental details were stripped away.

I want to write more about these, but for now I'll settle for getting them on-screen.  If you're familiar with the topic, you'll notice that the Lathrop Homes (recently redeveloped) are missing. Those will be included once I get some good reference photos.
