“Mutual Housing in the Delaware Valley”
Mobilization for World War II transformed the Delaware River Valley into a giant housing laboratory. Audubon Park, Bellmawr Park, and Pennypack Woods were built in 1941 as part of a special federal government-Congress of Industrial Organization (CIO) program for workers who could not afford home ownership. The three communities functioned as testing grounds for “mutual” or cooperative home ownership and new ideas in community planning, modern architecture, and mass-production building methods.
