Title A name given to the resource Christopher Columbus Homes Subject The topic of the resource public housing Description An account of the resource The Christopher Columbus Homes were a public housing complex located between High Street and Eighth Avenue, on the same superblock as the Colonnade and Pavilion Apartments. The complex, part of a Redevelopment Plan, was composed of eight 13-story tall slabs with 200 apartments each. In its inception it provided a close proximity to schools, Broad Street Station, Branch Brook Park, and a newly-constructed church—the Sacred Heart Church. While the site design is reminiscent of Hilberseimer’s urban schemes, the architecture of the apartments followed an orthodox public housing formula: cost-saving approaches were reflected by the bare brick façade, and restraint of finishes on the interior.
