Artist's Description
At a cost of around $3400 each, 1622 of these Type B-1 Houses, with 576 square feet of living space, were built in Oak Ridge between 1943 and 1945 to house some of the 75,000 people working at the plants.
The Type B-1 House had 2 bedrooms, one bath, a kitchen with extended pantry, and a living room.
Obviously, the houses got their name from the flat roofs. Some of these still stand today. This "flat top" house was originally located at #68 West Outer Drive.
Me and my family also lived in one of these houses in the late 40s and early 50s. I have some memories of those days.
It was sold in 1950 and used as a summer home in a nearby town. The family recently donated it to the AMSE Museum in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Go to www.amse.org/ and take a tour of the museum.
About Paul Mashburn
I have always been intrigued with photography. I did sports, fashion, news, and wedding photography for a time, but even after I started a career where photography was no longer a part of the work, I kept firing away for personal reasons and to document my life. The photos came in handy for my personal blog http://mushysmoochings.blogspot.com. I still write there quite a bit, but documenting the theater restoration project keeps me pretty busy. I hope you enjoy my photos, because the process gives me great personal pleasure. Even if you don't buy, please leave a comment to keep driving me on!

What an interesting house. It is charming, too, with its shiny flat roof and the deck and walkway. I would love to have that! Good composition, too, Paul! kk
