House design plans of Truxtun. The houses that were built in Truxtun as part of United States Housing Corporation Project 150C were considered high-quality for African-American housing at the time. Each was designed to fit a family of five fairly comfortably. Architect Rossel Edward Mitchell, who designed the town of Truxtun for the United States Housing Corporation, also realized these houses were of superior quality relative to most Black housing in this time period and marked a "significant advance in homes for colored workers."
