Memphis Builds Veterans Homes Through Cooperative City Efforts
In 1946 Memphis started 35 hundred homes with 2 thousand completed in 1946. Builder Wallace E. Johnson lowers costs by own timber and brick swap deals and by sending workers to source materials. The city reimburses utilities for resident subdivisions and aids with meters, speeding veteran housing. Johnson’s 55 two bedroom veterans’ homes sold for 5250 to 7000 dollars. He earned a 1947 Meritorious House Design prize from the National Home Builders Association.
