Victory Housing
Victory housing was designed to be permanent and comfortable, large enough for a single family. Most of this housing was prefabricated – walls and roofs constructed at a central factory then shipped to the final location for assembly. Once a street was constructed, it was neat, tidy, and uniform. The houses were generally one-and-a-half story with a steep roof, shallow eaves and no dormers. Multi-paned sash windows supplied light to the first floor and through the gable ends. The finish is different in every center, but clapboard was the most common. (Ontario Architecture, 2005)
