Kem Weber: Systems Housing / Precision Built Homes

During World War Two, Weber worked with Otto Eitel and the Douglas Fir Plywood Association in Tacoma, Washington to build a model home using Weber's system. The model home took two carpenters only two days to build the home, after the foundation concrete was poured and set. Unfortunately, the design was never accepted by the government for war housing, and no other units were built.
