Scope and content
War Housing; Salishan project. In January of 1943, workers are photographed carrying sheets of plywood from a truck bed into the elevated doorway, the stairs had not yet been built, of an almost completed home at the Salishan development. The home is surrounded by a sea of mud. Salishan was designed to provide 2,000 + homes for area defense workers. The framework was up for the majority of them, and some like this one were ready for interiors. [Also dated 02-09-1943] (T.Times 2/25/1943, pg. 31)
