Eggers & Higgins design the Smith Houses as towers in a park
The Alfred E. Smith Houses, completed in 1953, were designed by the architectural firm of Eggers & Higgins as towers in a park. Together with the neighboring Vladeck Houses, they cover 37 acres with 38 buildings of 6 to 17 stories and 3,692 apartments. Urban Omnibus notes that the mid-century redevelopment of Two Bridges erased most of the area's historic urban fabric.
