PhotographerUnknown
Dateca. 1964
NotesOn verso of image: Rapid construction is one of the prime advantage obtained from the use of plywood components. The insulated, stressed-skin plywood wall panels shown here were tipped into place and connected by a nailed spline. The plywood-gusseted roof trusses being lifted into place were shipped as units needing only to be nailed to the top of the wall panels.
