Durkeeville Housing Project
Durkeeville Housing Project
Description
Built in 1936, Durkeeville was once public housing — the second public housing project built in Florida under the federal Public Works Administration. This was listed as 239 living units, one and two story group houses, costing $1,000,000. Durkeeville was razed in September 1997.
The Durkeeville historical society building houses the 1936 cornerstone of the original public housing project.
