    • OCTOBER 2010 WASHTENAW COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Who Built My House? The Spotlight's on Chelseal The Fall colors were just beginning to show in time for the start of our monthly program series on Sunday, September 19th. As the afternoon sunlight streamed through the exquisite stained glasss windows of Bethel United Church of Christ in Manchester, Brian Williams presented a fascinating program on post World War II kit houses. We learned about the history and construction of prefabricated houses, including his own 1947 Peaseway home, and a unique architectural detail that identifies them. Many of these houses were built on concrete slabs, with the longer ends facing the street. This made them appear larger, added a front porch and increased the size of the back­ yard, a selling point for families. When the housing inspector pointed out the stenciled joists on the home they were about to purchase, Brian he Museum on Main Street has a new exhibit and his wife Heidi were unsure about showcasing Chelsea's industrial and cultural "'We are honored to what that meant.
