The Public Works Administration (PWA) allocated $150 million for housing. Cedar-Central Apartments was one of three initial Cleveland housing projects authorized by the PWA. Unlike the Works Progress Administration (WPA), with which it is sometimes confused, this New Deal agency funded private contractors, who in turn hired workers. Construction on Cedar-Central began in 1935 and was completed in 1937. | Creator: Ohio Federal Writers Project (WPA) | Date: ca. 1937-40 | Source: Ohio Guide Photographs, Ohio History ConnectionDownload Original File
