Modular

The new Secretary of HUD came from an automobile company, his name was George Romney, and didn’t know anything about building housing, but he made a statement one day, and in his speech, he said, “We need to learn how to build houses like we build cars in factories.” Charles McAfee started designing boxes. He built 4 modules, two on the first floor, and 2 on the 2nd floor, and two stair modules that were 8 x 10 or 8 x 12 and got them built. Across town where the site was located, he built footings and foundation walls and let them dry for a week, and then he moved these six modules across town on trucks
