This group of fifteen wood- frame duplexes covering five lots was constructed around two interior streets in 1949 and 1952. Builder J. J. Autrey was contracted by owner Barney Willmon to erect most of the structures. Willmon, who was a manager for Collier Dryer, acquired the property in 1949. Each of the one-story duplexes has a central double entry sheltered by a shed- roofed porch; a pyramidal roof surmounts the square plan. The houses are clad in asbestos siding, which may be original. Located near the stockyards district, the complex is unusual because it appears to be privately financed workers’ housing, and warrants further research.
