Building History
Just before World War II, a number of public housing developments were built throughout the Pacific Coast, some of which were meant to house defense workers at nearby factories.
In July 1940, Paul R. Williams, Adrian Wilson, Gordon B. Kaufmann, Richard Neutra, Walter Wurdeman and Welton D. Becket collaborated on the design of this public housing project set on a 17-acre parcel bordering 51st Street in Los Angeles, CA; their war-time association was known as "Southeast Housing Architects, Associated." Ralph D. Cornell served as the Landscape Architect for Pueblo del Rio.
