OWN AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF HISTORY. Here's the story. GM'S Modern Housing Corporation which began developing 750 houses on a 660-acre parcel just southwest of the current district. In October 1919 they continued by platting the Modern Housing Corporation Addition. General Motors promoted the housing to its employees, offering financial incentives and reduced down payments. By 1923, over 80% of the lots in the addition had homes built on them, and by 1926 the construction was substantially complete. This 3 bedroom 1 bath Dutch Colonial was built in 1920. A perfect home for Airbnb, or for the appreciative owner of American nostalgia. Move In condition.
