Excerpt from Dept. Agriculture, FSA report ‘Three architectural plans were used in building the four, five, and six-room frame houses, which were completed by December, 1935. The five- and six-room houses have two stories; all have full basements and brick foundations Inside walls are of plywood and the ceilings are of celotex. Equipment includes modern plumbing, ample closets, hot air furnaces, and hot water heaters. Choice between gas, coal, or electric cooking facilities is provided.’ https://archive.org/stream/grangerhomestead00unit_0/grangerhomestead00unit_0_djvu.txt

Excerpt from Dept. Agriculture, FSA report: ‘One lot was set aside for a community house, which has become one of the most popular buildings on the project. Hardily a day passes but what it is used as a meeting place by various groups and the people take unusual pride in keeping it in good order. The community house also has working space and facilities for the canning of fruits and vegetables raised by the homesteaders. Project children attend the Granger Public School and a Catholic parochial school, both of which are less than a mile from the project site; and there are three churches in the town of Granger; a library is sponsored by the women's club of the project.’ https://archive.org/stream/grangerhomestead00unit_0/grangerhomestead00unit_0_djvu.txt
