Dream Home on College avenue mirrors Bluefield plan in progress
The Dream Home project on College avenue uses the same model home plan as the Chicago Better in America movement and the Chicago Federation of Women’s Organizations. The first brick was laid May 16 with Mrs. Edward Bailey handling the trowel. Interior plastering continues while carpenters fit windows and doors as the house nears completion with Greever Brothers handling finish work.
