Employee housing. One of the permanent houses in the construction village at Norris. At each project enough types were used to permit taking advantage of site slopes, views, and exposure to breeze. In keeping with the climate all houses have ample screened porches, usually one for dining (as on the lower right) connecting with the kitchen, and one for sitting or sleeping (as the one on the upper floor) connecting with the bedrooms

Employee housing. Interior typical of houses at Norris. Floor is of third-grade tongue-and-groove oak which is produced locally. Walls are 78 inch tongue-and-groove pine to the window sill level and large sheets of quarter- inch thick fir plywood above. Ceilings are of insulating board. Windows are steel with aluminum screens. Houses are electrically heated; hot water and heating equipment are likewise electrical

Employee housing. To accommodate construction personnel at projects, most of which are at some distance from population centers, the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) built permanent housing where there were reasons to expect such communities to be permanent. Being the single owner of land and of structures, the Authority used such housing projects to demonstrate modern principles of town planning of which other federal housing programs and private enterprise made use subsequently. The photograph shows a scene in the town of Norris, Tennessee, adjacent to Norris Dam
Demountable employee housing. Because many construction projects are in remote localities where the need for housing exists only during the construction period, the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) developed over a period of years its own method of prefabrication. Houses, recreation buildings, dormitories, washhouses, etc. have been constructed in three dimensional slices which are transported individually, fully equipped, and are coupled up on the site much like cars of a railroad train. Photograph shows one slice of a cabin, 7 1/2' x 22', in transit

Demountable employee housing. Three-bedroom war workers' house constructed in five slices. On this project, where the houses went into an existing community in Alabama to provide housing for employees of chemical and metallurgical industries of the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority), the local desire for traditional appearance was accommodated by the use of a pitched roof. Each side of the roof is hinged at the eaves and is laid down, during transport, over the ceiling to bring overall height within normal highway clearances
Employee housing. One of the house types at the construction village at Wheeler, Alabama. Most early house types of the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) were more or less in harmony with local traditional building design to minimize avoiding conflict with strongly held prejudices, but improvements in detail and a closer approach to thoroughly modern concepts were sought for and attained on each subsequent project
