These homes are just a "stone's throw" away from my home. The end of World War II saw a severe housing shortage for returning servicemen. Hollywood produced a movie on the subject, 20th Century Fox's production of "Apartment for Peggy," starring Jean Craine. Many newly weds lived in incredibly cramped and austere conditions in attics, basements, and any other place they could find until permanent housing could be found.
