“Red Hook Houses, a low rent government housing center, under construction on the north side of Lorraine Street. The entire block from Creamer to Lorraine Streets is an empty lot. April 19,1939.” (Note the stray dog in the foreground!) The Red Hook Houses were completed in 1939, and are today split into two complexes, East and West. This is the East complex. The “empty lot” is now a parking lot.
