Valleyview Homes, the low-rent housing development at West 7th Street and Starkweather in Cleveland, is the specific place this silkscreen poster promotes. It was produced under the Federal Art Project, part of the Works Progress Administration, which hired artists in the 1930s to make posters for public health, education and housing campaigns. The poster's message reflects the period's push to replace crowded, substandard tenements with subsidized apartments for working families with low incomes. A date stamp on the back, July 20, 1940, shows the print was in circulation after the poster's original design year.
