Greenbelt History in Photos: Visit Eleanor at the Library Garden City Purposes, Plans by James Giese
(This is the fourth in a series of historic photograph presenta- tions that help tell the story of Greenbelt’s early history. The photos in this story are from the Library of Congress Greenbelt Project files.) The Resettlement Administra- tion under John Lansil built the new towns. Rexford Tugwell had envisioned new towns across the country, but only four were authorized, with the one in New Jersey never built. Greenbelt was the first occupied. The garden cities had three purposes as New Deal projects: to demonstrate what an ideal, model planned community, safe and healthful and surrounded by open space, would be like in contrast to the crowded tenements of cities; to provide work for Town Plan the unemployed; and to provide suitable housing for low-income workers. Of the three towns, Greenbelt may have the most interesting and unique plan as shown in the accompanying photo. It is sited to follow the natural lines of a fish-hook shaped ridge. The town center is located in the center of the curve and consists of a small shopping center, the elementary school-community center, a swimming pool and athletic fields. Adjacent to it are apartments and beyond those are row houses clustered in courts, many of them U shaped. The city blocks in Greenbelt are more than twice the size of most city blocks. Two main roads follow the ridge line: Crescent, adjacent to the community center, and AMY HANSEN BY PHOTO Ridge, the outer ring road. To the Project Sign The Greenbelt News Review joins the rest of the Greenbelt west is Greenbelt Lake. Cooperative Alliance in filling the library display case from This was to be one neighbor- -Photos from Library of Congress Greenbelt Project files October 17 through November 14. hood of the community, but lack of funds prevented expanding it further.
