Demountable employee housing.This brand new type of housing accommodation was developed through several intermediate steps and experiments in prefabrication, in answer to the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority's) need for housing for temporary use on construction projects in remote localities. The scheme permits fabrication at a distance from the job (about 600 miles in this instance), thus reducing dependence on overtaxed accommodations at the construction project. After completion of the project, the demountable housing is quickly removed elsewhere. Some of the earlier TVA demountables have been moved three times from project to project. The design shown here is particularly light in weight due to full use of the recently developed stressed-skin system of plywood construction. It is built largely of weatherproof plywood. The large bay across the front greatly enhances the size of the living room. The trailer houses, on the basis of experience to date, are entirely competitive in cost with traditionally constructed housing of the same floor area. On account of being constructed in shops rather than in the field, they are produced with much closer tolerances, considerably better finish, and with equipment designed and constructed with greater detail and superior utilization of space

Demountable employee housing. The most recent development of the demountable method makes use of the stressed skin principle of plywood engineering. In consequnce, the house slices become very much lighter and can be towed on a light undercarriage behind a small truck or ordinary passenger car

Demountable employee housing. Because many construction projects are in remote localities where the need for housing exists only during the construction period, the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) developed over a period of years its own method of prefabrication. Houses, recreation buildings, dormitories, washhouses, etc. have been constructed in three dimensional slices which are transported individually, fully equipped, and are coupled up on the site much like cars of a railroad train. Photograph shows one slice of a cabin, 7 1/2' x 22', in transit

Demountable employee housing. Three-bedroom war workers' house constructed in five slices. On this project, where the houses went into an existing community in Alabama to provide housing for employees of chemical and metallurgical industries of the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority), the local desire for traditional appearance was accommodated by the use of a pitched roof. Each side of the roof is hinged at the eaves and is laid down, during transport, over the ceiling to bring overall height within normal highway clearances
