An exterior view of one of the houses which the Tennessee Valley Authority built to house workmen and their families at Hiawasee Dam in southwestern North Carolina. Net cost of labor and materials was less than $1,000 per house for structures of this type, complete with plumbing, lighting and flues for stoves. Architects avoided a monotonous arrangement by careful placing of the houses and by changing the location of doors, windows and porches in various buildings of the same type.
