Homes for Servicemen

Patrick Mckenna

Opening: April 14 5:30 pm

Viewing: April 14 until April 24

A curated selection of high quality reproduction prints of Architectural Drawings & Plans from the 1948 Rehabilitation Housing Plan Service (née Expandable Housing or State Housing).

The original plans have been a recent and topical discovery made by Local Business man Patrick Mckenna of ‘Patrick’s Bookstore’

“The plans comprising this section are intended primarily for those ex-servicemen who may wish to build from modest beginnings and add to the area as they find it convenient or necessary”.
