My mom grew up on Beatrice Avenue, just a bit north of this area. I asked her about this housing and, to my surprise, she remembered it. She said they were called "The Projects" and as kids, they were not allowed to venture over there. She said the residents of this housing were quite poor and she only saw them when they would meet in a corner store. She moved in 1955 and cannot recall if this housing was still in place at that time or not.
