Historical Background
Built in 1941 by the U.S. government as housing for shipbuilders during World War II, the 450 units of Atchison Village were designed with open spaces and a garden setting to foster a sense of community. In 1956 the government put the property up for sale and the residents raised the needed $50,000 down payment to purchase the property for $1.5 million dollars. With that, AVHC became the first housing cooperative in California. For a complete description, go to the following website: http://www.rosietheriveter.org/park.htm.
