Better Industrial Housing 
With Plan Treatment 
that Means Economy 
Industrial housing is on a new plane. Various types of 
homes are now built—not only economically, not only durably 
—but artistically as well. 
The following extracts from the description by the Architects of the 
Watertown Housing Project prove that, after months of intensive 
work by the Committee of Design and the Ordnance Department in 
planning the erection of three hundred houses within scheduled time, 
“Creo-Dipt” Stained Shingles were considered the best choice for 
side walls, as well as roofs, for their economy, durability, rapidity in 
laying, variety in treatment and beauty. 
“The plans and specifications called for first-class construction in 
every way .... yet the use of the most available materials treated 
in the least expensive manner to obtain practical results.” 
“For the purpose of introducing variety in plan and design, five ’ 
plan types were adopted. Each type of house has two variations in 
design; there are also four semi-detached groups, each formed by 
combining two of the above—thus providing fourteen different ex¬ 
terior designs. In addition, each design will be reversed in plan, and 
an additional variety will also be obtained in the color scheme." 
“The fact that winter weather would be reached before the work 
was well advanced led to the decision to build the houses entirely of 
frame construction, using 16-inch and 24-inch ‘Creo-Dipt’ Stained 
Shingles for exterior walls and 16-inch ‘Creo-Dipt’ Stained Shingles 
for roofs.” 
“The color scheme is such as will best carry out a colonial atmos¬ 
phere. The ‘Creo-Dipt’ Stained Shingles will be silver and weather 
beaten gray and “Creo-Dipt” Dixie White, trimmed with white, grey 
or cream to harmonize.” 
“Creo-Dipt” Stained Shingles have been used on 100 houses for the 
Firestone Rubber Co. and housing projects of the Carnegie Steel Co., 
Goodyear Rubber Co., Ticonderoga Pulp and Paper Co., and the U. S. 
Housing Corp., at Waterbury, Conn., Newport News, Va., and Indian 
Head, Md.
