Some of the company-built houses in Victory. There is another style of company housing a little up the creek. This is obviously a 1920s-era patch with "model" patch housing, contrasting with the duplex patch housing built in Western PA between 1880-1910.

Most of the Western Pennsylvania patches have an "Honor Roll" for their war heroes, and Victory is no different.
