Do you have pics of this? I’m trying to imagine it in my head.

No I do not. The entire neighborhood had houses made from concrete walls, floors, and roof. Every house was the same. The forms for pouring the houses were steel, lifted by cranes. Then the roof was lowered and pinned in place. The wiring, plumbing, and heating ducts were in the poured floor. The windows were all metal framed crank open types which were mortared in and caulked. No overhead lighting. Just lamps from conduit run exposed up the wall on the interior.

Ugly and bunker looking, but they will still be standing in 2,000 years. Very utilitarian, or usonian as Frank Lloyd Wright would say. I say just Spartan.
