Bantam, Connecticut. War workers' homes. The war has brought approximately a thirty-three percent increase in housing facilities in Bantam--an eighty-unit federally financed housing project about five minutes from the Warren McArthur factory. The first forty units--two to a house, were occupied in early January 4, 1942 and the second forty had already been rented pending completion. As the automobiles and tires of workers in Bantam's defense industries wear out, it is probable that additional new housing facilities will be needed. Sourced from the Library of Congress.
