By St. Theodosius in 1939 Valleyview Estates public housing was built. There was a WPA clay tile mural of the street map with six laboring men (some architects, and an artist, some construction), tools, compass points, a steam shovel demolishing old housing, and the sun by Leroy Flint and Henry Olmer. The map had barrack style units representing the houses. St. Theodosius is not marked, but the St. Olga Street is. The terra cotta was cleaned by art conservators and re-installed, behind glass, at the successor project Tremont Pointe. It is not easy to see in daylight. These pictures were taken night time.
