Kelly Houses reach twenty years of ownership pride
Edward J. Farrell recounts Pittsfield's Kelly Houses, built in the late 1940s by John J. Kelly, facing early opposition but evolving into a stable, owner driven community. The project helped veterans housing, attracted financing from Union Federal Savings & Loan, and created a residential buffer near General Electric. Many units have changed hands, with additions and landscaping improving the neighborhood.
