The following from a google search “roosevelt houses” depression: “...Spurred by documentary photographs, the federal government stepped in in the 1930’s and made Gee’s Bend a model of the New Deal, reimagining the town and replacing skinned-pine log houses chinked with clay with ‘’Roosevelt houses,’’ as they are still called, equipped with leakless roofs, cast-iron stoves and other improvements.

So far that’s the most I could find about the Roosevelt Houses.
Wah-ha-ha-ha
Roosevelt houses?
Good work! We will see some more about this no doubt!
