From before 1949 til 1957 there was a workers housing area on SE corner, now Osborn High & Bessy Park area. Looking for any historical info, name, etc. I've seen the the DTE aerial photos from '49 and '57. My family lived there 1949-1952, K & 1st grade at Von Steuben Elem.

There's not much information to be found about those temporary housing projects. Maybe some information here:
