Building Permit Survey, 1939

Residential and Nonresidential Construction and Demolition, South Atlantic Cities, 1939 1 2

SummaryThe Bureau of Labor Statistics has secured summary figures on

building construction in the principal cities of the country annually since 1921 and monthly since September 1929. These figures are published in the monthly report Building Construction and in annual summaries. In response to the demand for more detailed information on building construction than that available from the monthly summary figures, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with the Work Projects Administration, made an intensive survey of building- permit data for the period since 1929 in cities with a population of10,000 and over. This bulletin, covering South Atlantic cities for the year 1939, is the fifth of a series for each of the 9 geographic divisions of the United States. The years 1929 to 1935 and 1936 to 1938 are covered in earlier bulletins.

Building permits were issued in 41 South Atlantic cities 3 with a population of 25,000 and over for new privately financed residential structures containing 21,923 family-dwelling units in 1939. In addition, housing facilities were provided for 12,000 families in United States Housing Authority projects in 20 of the cities, making a total of 33,923 new units. Furthermore, a large volume of construction was authorized in 1939 for nonhousekeeping residential and nonresidential construction. Valuations for nonhousekeeping residential building amounted to $3,269,000 and for nonresidential

construction to $76,064,000. Half of this latter total was reported in Washington, D. C;

The South Atlantic States constitute a rapidly growing region with an increasing demand for housing and nonresidential facilities. The increase in population during the 1930-40 decade was exceeded only by that in the Pacific region. Among cities in the United States with populations of 100,000 and over, Miami, Fla., was first and Washington, D. C., was third, with respect to population gains during the 10 years. The growth in Washington was largely accelerated by increased employment in the Federal Government. Jacksonville, Orlando, St. Petersburg, and West Palm Beach, Fla.; Columbus, Ga.; and Raleigh, N. C.; all showed substantial gains, and Charlotte, N. C., increased from 82,675 in 1930 to 100,899 in 1940. The migration of the textile industry to the South and the expansion of other activities, such as the tobacco industry, were among factors contributing to the growing population.

For privately financed residential building in the 41 cities during 1939, the single-family house was the favored type of structure except in Wilmington, Del., where units in apartment buildings predominated, and Washington, D. C., where units in 1-family houses and in 5- or-more-family structures were about equal in number. A large proportion of the single-family houses were detached structures but row houses were important in a few cities, notably Washington and Baltimore. Frame and brick were the exterior construction materials which were used most extensively. Three-fifths of the new units had valuations ranging from $2,000 to $4,500 per unit. More than three-fifths of the family-dwelling units for which data were available had 5 or 6 rooms.

The single-family attached house predominated in Federally financed construction. Brick was the most important type of exterior construction material although concrete was specified for a number of the projects, especially those in the Florida cities. Forty five percent of the units in the housing developments had five rooms.

On the basis of dollar volume, dormitories were the most important type of nonhousekeeping residential structure. Public buildings, institutions, schools, and stores and other mercantile buildings, made up the bulk of nonresidential construction.

In addition to permits issued for private construction, the tables include the value of contracts awarded for Federal, State, and municipal buildings in the cities covered by this report. The data concerning Federal and State buildings are collected by the Bureau from the various Federal and State agencies which have the power to award contracts for building construction.


Residential ConstructionUnits Added, Converted, and Demolished

Building permits issued in the 41 South Atlantic cities indicate that more new family-dwelling units were provided in new buildings in 1939 than in 1938. Permits were issued for 21,923 new units in privately financed residential buildings in 1939 as compared with 18,128 in1938—an increase of about one-fifth.

Approximately one-half of the 21,923 new accommodations reported in 1939 were concentrated in 3 cities: Washington, D. C., with 6,178, the greatest number of new privately financed units; Miami, Fla., with 2,639; and Baltimore, Md., with 2,284.

In addition to the privately financed residential facilities, 12,000 units were authorized in projects of the United States Housing- Authority, while only 251 accommodations in Federal housing developments were reported in 1938. These projects were planned to provide healthful, sanitary homes for low-income families and in many cases were to take the place of slum dwellings.

It is impossible to ascertain the net increase in housing in the 41 cities as data concerning additions and alterations to existing structures and private wrecking operations are not available in several of the cities. Available information indicates, however, that additions and alterations resulted in 1,409 family-dwelling units in 39 cities; such data were not available in Pensacola, Fla., and Spartanburg, S. C. Permits for demolitions were not required in 9 of the 41 cities, and such information was not available in Orlando, Fla., and Lynchburg, Va.; in Columbus, Ga., and Norfolk, Va., demolition data were not complete.

In table 1, the number of family dwellings provided in new buildings, units resulting from additions and alterations to existing structures, and units demolished in the South Atlantic cities in 1939 is compared with similar data for 1938.

6 BUILDING PERMIT SURVEY, 193 9

Privately Financed Residential ConstructionType of Structure

Information collected concerning the type of structure in privately financed residential construction showed an increase of single-family dwellings in 1939 over 1938 and a corresponding decrease in units in structures housing 3 or more families. Seventy-five percent of the new units for which permits were issued in 1939 were single-family houses and 21 percent were in 3-or-more family structures. In 1938, 69 percent of the units were 1-family dwellings and 27 percent were in multifamily buildings. In 1939 a large number (76 percent) of the 16,350 single-family residences were detached, 16 percent were attached, and 8 percent were semidetached. Table 2 shows the distribution, by city, of units in the various types of structures for which permits were issued in 1939.

All of the new units in Tampa, Fla.; Petersburg, Va.; and Wheeling, W. Va.; and at least 95 percent of those in Pensacola, Tampa, and West Palm Beach, Fla.; Atlanta, Augusta, and Columbus, Ga.; Durham and High Point, N. C.; were single-family houses. At the other extreme, only 43 percent of the units in Washington, D. C., and 39 percent in Wilmington, Del., were one-family houses. Fifty- four percent of the new accommodations in Wilmington and 43 percent in Washington were in apartment buildings housing five or more families.

In Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D. C., the one-family row house was of considerable importance, accounting for 57 percent and 19 percent, respectively, of the total.

Exterior Construction Material

Information on exterior construction material which was collected for 21,827 of the 21,923 new privately financed accommodations in the South Atlantic cities indicated that brick and frame were the favored types of surface material. Thirty-seven percent of the new units for which data were available were in brick buildings and 33 percent, in frame structures. Units in structures of brick veneer and stucco were about equally divided and each accounted for 11 percent of the total. As shown by table 3 frame was used more often than any other material for single-family structures, while brick was specified extensively for 2-family and multifamily buildings.

The high percentage of units in brick buildings was caused in a large part by the extensive use of that material in residential construction in Washington, D. C., and Baltimore, Md. In Washington 5,349 units (87 percent of the city’s total) and in Baltimore 1,597 units (70 percent of the total) were specified in brick buildings. Brick was favored also in Wilmington, Del., where 97 percent of the units were in buildings of this material.

The use of stucco was confined largely to construction in Miami, Fla. In this city 2,192, or 83 percent, of the new accommodations were specified in stucco buildings.

Brick veneer predominated in Macon, Ga.; Charlotte, N. C.; Columbia, S. C.; and Roanoke, Va.; and was utilized about as often as frame in Jacksonville, Fla.; Columbus, Ga.; and Lynchburg, Va. Frame was favored in all the remaining cities. At least nine-tenths of the units in West Palm Beach, Fla., and Newport News and Portsmouth, Va., were in frame buildings.

Permit Valuations

Approximately three-fifths of all the new privately financed units authorized during 1939 in the 41 South Atlantic cities had valuations ranging from $2,000 to $4,500 per unit. Eighteen percent of the accommodations were in the $500 to $2,000 cost group, while, at the other extreme, only 2 percent were to cost $10,000 and over. The accompanying chart indicates, however, some distinct variations in valuations between cities with a population of 100,000 and over, and those with populations in the 25,000-100,000 group. For example, the valuation stated most frequently on permits issued in the smaller cities was between $500 and $1,000, while in the larger cities the most commonly reported valuation was between $2,000 and $2,500. A greater number of units in the $4,500-and-over cost group was reported for the larger cities (24 percent) than for those in the smaller population group (19 percent). Moreover, only 11 percent of the units in the larger cities were to cost less than $2,000, while 30 percent of those in the smaller communities were to cost from $500 to $2,000. From approximately one-half to nearly two-thirds of the units in Pensacola, Fla.; Durham, Greensboro, High Point, Wilmington, and Winston-Salem, N. C.; Greenville, S. C.; and Petersburg, Va.; were included within the latter limits.

The great number of units in the larger cities to cost from $2,000 to $2,500 was due partially to a concentration in this cost group of units in apartment houses in Washington, D. C.

The permit valuations are estimates of construction costs made by prospective builders and do not include land and other costs.

Table 4 shows the distribution of the new family-dwelling units by permit valuation per unit and type of structure for cities of 100,000 population and over and for cities in the 25,000 to 100,000 population group.

Table 5 shows the permit valuations reported in 1939 in the South Atlantic cities for privately financed single-family dwellings. Fifty- seven percent of the 16,350 single-family dwellings were to cost from $2,000 to $4,500 per unit. Eighty-five percent of the single-family dwellings within Baltimore, Md., were included within these limits. Likewise, approximately three-fourths of the accommodations in Jacksonville, Fla.; Charlotte, N. C.; Charleston, S. C.; and Newport News and Portsmouth, Va.; had valuations ranging from $2,000 to $4,500. Higher priced houses, however, were reported in a number of cities, and the majority of single-family dwellings had valuations of $4,500 and over in the following cities: Wilmington, Del. (74 percent), Roanoke, Va. (56 percent), Washington, D. C. (55 percent), and Charleston, W. Va. (52 percent).

Rooms per Dwelling Unit

Information concerning the number of rooms per dwelling unit was available for only 14,910 of the 18,205 accommodations in 34 of the cities covered by this report as shown in table 6. Of these 14,910 units, 32 percent contained 6 rooms, and 30 percent had 5 rooms. Units in 4- and 3-room structures were about equal in number, accounting for 14 percent and 13 percent, respectively, of the total. The 5-room size was favored for single-family detached houses, but 6 rooms were most prominent in 1-family attached dwellings, and 3 rooms in the semidetached houses. Units of 3 rooms were most common also in 2-family, 2-decker buildings, and 3-, 4-, and 5-or- more-family structures without commercial space.

There was some variation between the larger and smaller cities in regard to the size of the dwelling units. In the cities with a population of 100,000 and over the 6-room unit predominated, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the total as compared with one-fifth in the smaller cities. Conversely, the proportion of 5-room units was higher in the cities in the 25,000-100,000 population group (more than one-third) than in the larger municipalities (approximately one- fourth) .

Thirty-eight percent of the 12,140 single-family houses for which room data were collected in the South Atlantic cities contained 6 rooms and nearly as many, 34 percent, had 5 rooms. Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D. C., where the 6-room unit accounted for 74 percent and 53 percent, respectively, of the single-family dwellings, contributed to the large proportion of houses of this size. In a large number of the other cities, however, the 5-room unit predominated as shown by table 7.

1 Demolition permits were not required in Asheville, Durham, High Point, Raleigh, and Wilmington, N. C.; Columbia and Spartanburg, S. C.; and Huntington and Parkersburg, W. Va.; and such data were not available in Orlando, Fla., and Lynchburg, Va. No residential demolition permits were issued in 1939 in Cumberland, Md., although permits are required for demolitions in this city.

2 Does not include family-dwelling units contained in 7 buildings to be demolished for which the number of units was not reported.

3117 of these units were substandard dwellings eliminated throughout the city in accordance with the United States Housing Act of 1937.

bus, Ga., and Norfolk, Va. Demolition permits were not required in 9 of the cities covered by this report and data were not available in Orlando, Fla., and Lynchburg, Va. No permits were issued for the razing of residential structures during 1939 in Cumberland, Md., even though permits are required. Table 8 shows the number of units demolished, by city and type of structure. This table, however, includes only units for which demolition permits are issued. In many instances buildings are demolished without permits such as at the sites of State or Federal projects. For example, although 344 units were demolished at the site of Edgar Allen Poe Homes project at Baltimore, Md., only 83 of these were covered by permits. The units demolished in connection with the housing projects are shown in table 8.

In cities where complete demolition data were available, approximately 1 dwelling unit was razed by private wrecking operation, for every 12 new units provided by private construction. The largest numbers of privately financed demolitions were 339 in Baltimore, Md., and 318 in Washington, D. C.

Although demolitions occurred throughout all types of residential structures, a large proportion of the razed units were single-family houses.

Housing Projects Financed From Federal Funds

In addition to the privately financed residential facilities provided in 1939 in the South Atlantic cities, 12,000 units in 9,800 buildings were authorized by the United States Housing Authority as shown in table 9. These 12,000 Federal financed units were provided in 43 projects in 20 of the South Atlantic cities and varied in size from Armistead Gardens with 700 units, in Baltimore, Md., to Washington Square with 80 units, in Huntington, W. Va. One-fifth of all the low-rent accommodations were authorized in housing developments at Atlanta, Ga. These 1,200 units together with 2 projects already completed and 2 more to be constructed constitute the most extensive public housing program of any city of its size in the country, and are the result of a widely recognized need for slum clearance and homes for low-income families. According to the 1939 report of the local housing authority, more than one-half of Atlanta’s dwellings are substandard.4

Housing projects were also authorized in the other Georgia cities covered by this report, bringing the total for the State to 4,649 familydwelling units. Fellwood Homes in Savannah was planned to help relieve housing congestion in Yamacraw, a slum section of the city, and Yamacraw Village was built within the slum itself.5 One slum

dwelling was demolished on the site of both of these projects for each new unit provided.

During 1939, 2,511 units were authorized in low-rent projects in 6 Florida cities— 1,075 in Miami alone. Two additions, with a combined total of 730 accommodations, to the original Liberty Square project previously constructed, form a part of the largest Negro housing development in the South. The entire Liberty Square, when completely filled, will house approximately 10 percent of Miami’s Negro population 6 with lower rents than for substandard housing. All of the projects in Miami were built on vacant land.

North Boulevard Homes, consisting of 2 sections with a total of 534 units for Negro tenants, occupies a former slum district of Tampa. Three hundred and five units were demolished at the site. The need for housing is acute in Tampa as in oth'er cities covered by this report. Tampa developed in 60 years from a village of 720 persons to an industrial city of well over 100,000 population with very little time for city planning. There are large slum areas, and between 1930 and 1938 more dwellings were demolished than were built.7

Likewise in Charlotte, N. C., residential construction has not kept pace with the growing population. To help fill this need 2 housing projects were authorized, housing a total of 708 families. Because of the acute shortage of housing in the city the 2 developments were built on virtually vacant land. Only 33 substandard units were demolished on the site of Piedmont Courts and 3 units on the site of Fairview Homes.

Other projects in the North Carolina cities consisted of 2 developments housing 461 families in Raleigh, and 2 projects with 462 units in Wilmington. Residential construction in Wilmington has been confined largely to families in the middle and upper-income brackets and has provided very few homes for low-income families.8 Most of the new homes have been built in the suburbs; only 47 new dwelling units were provided by private construction in the city in 1939 and 40 in 1938.

In Baltimore, Md., in addition to Armistead Gardens, housing 700 families, 298 units were provided in Edgar Allen Poe Homes. The latter was a slum-clearance project with 344 units demolished at the site while Armistead Gardens was built on vacant land.

Nine hundred and ten units were provided in 5 projects in 2 South Carolina cities, Charleston and Columbia, and 974 accommodations in Charleston and Huntington, W. Va.

6 Public Housing, Sept. 10, 1940.7 Public Housing, Mar. 26, 1940.8 Public Housing, Aug. 20, 1940.



Fort Dupont Dwellings, built on vacant land, in Washington, D. C., was planned to house 326 families. The District of Columbia also has a housing problem due to the great increase in population in recent years and the prospect of rapid increases of Government personnel.

A large proportion (70 percent) of the 12,000 new accommodations were single-family attached houses, and 19 percent were in 2-family dwellings. The 5-room dwelling unit predominated, accounting for 45 percent of the accommodations, and the 4-room unit was next with 27 percent.

Brick or concrete was used almost exclusively as exterior construction material for the housing projects. Concrete was utilized for all of the developments in the Florida cities with the exception of the 2 projects, of tile construction, located in Pensacola. The John Hope Homes and the John J. Eagan Homes in Atlanta were also of concrete construction, as well as the two Savannah, Ga., projects and Armi- stead Gardens in Baltimore, Md. Brick was specified for the remainder of the developments.

Nonresidential construction in connection with most of the projects consisted of an administration or community building.

Nonhousekeeping Residential Construction Type of Structure and Permit Valuations

Nonhousekeeping residential construction in 1939 in 16 of the South Atlantic cities amounted to $3,269,000 for 94 buildings. As indicated by table 10 this type of construction was considerably greater than in 1938, when permits were issued for 38 buildings with a total valuation of $2,089,000.

In 1939 dormitories accounted for 44 percent of the total valuation and hotels, for 22 percent. These types of structures also had the highest valuations reported in 1938.

Columbia, S. C., stood first among the municipalities in 1939 in respect to dollar volume with $1,006,000 reported for nonhousekeeping residential construction. A hotel valued at $500,000, and two dormitories with a combined total of $506,000 were authorized in this city. In the other cities covered by this report valuations ranged from $550,000 in Washington, D. C., to $7,000 in Greenville, S. C.

Nonresidential ConstructionType of Structure and Permit Valuations

The total dollar volume of $76,064,000 reported in 1939 for nonresidential construction in the 41 cities was nearly one-fourth higher than the $61,703,000 reported in 1938. Increases over 1938 were noted in many of the types of structures— especially public buildings, where valuations rose from $12,160,000 in 1938 to $28,307,000 in 1939, due mainly to such construction in Washington, D. C. Institutions, office buildings, and buildings under the category “ factories, bakeries, ice plants, laundries, and other workshops,” all showed substantial gains over 1938. Conversely, the dollar volume reported for several types of structure, such as public works and utilities, and schools, decreased. Table 12 shows the comparison of totals by city and type of structure for nonresidential construction for the 2 years 1938 and 1939.

Nonresidential construction in the District of Columbia accounted for one-half of the total dollar volume of $76,064,000 reported in the 41 South Atlantic cities in 1939. Valuations in Washington amounted to $38,089,000 for 926 buildings in the later year as compared with $27,873,000 for 1,072 structures in 1938. Public buildings valued at $24,935,000 accounted for nearly two-thirds of the valuation in 1939. Included in this classification was a $11,980,000 building planned for the Social Security and Railroad Retirement agencies but used by the War Department; the $2,709,000 General Office Building; and the $2,584,000 Jefferson Memorial; also, the District Municipal Center valued at $4,674,000, and the $997,000 addition to the District Jail. Office buildings, including a privately financed structure with a permit valuation of $3,560,000 but erected for a governmental agency, accounted for 10 percent of the total. Institutions, among them a $609,000 addition at St. Elizabeths Hospital, constituted 9 percent. Federal construction amounted to $19,523,000, or slightly over one- half of the total valuation for the District of Columbia. Virtually no industrial expansion was indicated in the city.

Richmond, the capital of Virginia, ranked second among the 41 cities with valuations amounting to $5,172,000. Institutions and schools made up the bulk of nonresidential construction for the city. Valuations amounted to more than $3,500,000 in Atlanta, Ga., and

Baltimore, Md., and to $2,376,000 in Wilmington, Del. A dollar volume of more than one million dollars was reported in each of the following cities: Jacksonville and Miami, Fla.; Charlotte, Durham, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem, N. C.; Columbia, S. C .; and Charleston, W. Va.

The most important types of structure in 1939, on the basis of permit valuations in the South Atlantic cities, were public buildings (37 percent of the total value of nonresidential construction), institutions (12 percent), schools and stores and other mercantile buildings (11 percent each), public works and utilities (7 per'cent), and buildings in the category “ factories, bakeries, ice plants, laundries, and other workshops” (6 percent). Although the high dollar volume for public buildings ($28,307,000) was largely the result of such construction in Washington, D. C., this type of construction was the most important in several other cities. Five buildings (Federal construction) with a total valuation of $870,000 at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, accounted for 94 percent of the total for the city. In Columbia, S. C., a State building to cost $807,000 represented 44 percent of the total. Nearly three-fourths of the value of nonresidential construction in Hagerstown, Md., was accounted for by a city hall.

Authorization was granted in 1939 for 36 institutions to cost $9,124,000. Again more than one-third of this value was reported in Washington. Institutions were valued at $1,889,000 in Richmond, Va., $1,250,000 in Wilmington, Del., and $1,117,000 in Charlotte, N. C., accounting for 37 percent, 53 percent, and 69 percent, respectively, of the total for these cities.

Schools were the most important type of nonresidential construction in St. Petersburg, Fla.; Cumberland, M d .; Greensboro, N. C .; Charleston, S. C.; and Charleston, W. Va.

In the Florida cities, stores and other mercantile buildings were of first importance and accounted for 37 percent of the total for seven cities.

Considerable industrial expansion was indicated in the Georgia municipalities during 1939, partially the result of the migration of industry to the South. Permits were issued for the construction of factories, bakeries, ice plants, laundries, and other workshops with a volume of $2,163,000 accounting for 42 percent of the total for the Georgia cities. More than one-half ($1,874,000) of the reported valuation in Atlanta was for structures of this type.
