About

The Glenwood Houses were built during the post-World War II era when NYCHA reached its peak in construction of public housing projects (1945–65). The project was built in a modified tower-in-the-park style development, popular among NYCHA projects at that time.^{[citation needed]}

The development was designed by architect Adolph Goldberg^[2] and construction began in 1949,^[3] and opened on July 14, 1950.^[1]
