TitleThis photograph shows how the two halves of a trailer house, delivered individually, are assembled by simply rolling them together on previously prepared foundations which consist of a few posts driven into the ground connected by planks upon which the house halves roll by means of small wooden wheels. Each half is light enough to be towed behind a 3/4 ton truck or passenger car. They come fully equipped with all essential furniture and equipment, either built-in or stored inside during transport. They are connected to each other by a few bolts, while the roof sections meet in ridges over which a common cap is laid. The whole operation may take between one and three hours, including connection to previously prepared utilities. The section or halves measure 26' x 7'9, thus permitting highway transportation without special permits. Any number of sections can be combined. Two- and three-bedroom houses. Recreation buildings, bath houses, and even very large barracks, have been constructed by TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) on the same general plans but using more sectionsNoteOriginal Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) number: KX 1843.Title and other information from caption sheet entry.More information about the FSA/OWI Collection is available atCould not render: bf:electronicLocatorDimensions4 x 5 inches or smaller.Extent1 negativeProvision ActivityPublication: United States 1933/1945 Publication: between 1933 and 1945 Usage And Access PolicyNo known restrictions on images made by the U.S. government; images copied from other sources may be restricted.
