Planning the Hydrostone: Housing

The layout of the residential blocks was based upon a subdivision module of 120 feet that could be subdivided into two 60-foot, three 40-foot, four 30-foot or six 20-foot lots. Housing types included semi-detached, duplexes, row and stacked terrace housing, and apartments.

There were six separate types of four-unit buildings, each varying in size, internal layout, exterior treatment in design and use of materials. Further variety was created by variations in setback, building height, use of dormers and the addition of entry porches
