 The John J. Earley Polychrome Houses in Silver Spring, MD were built in the
mid-1930s. The concrete panels were pre-cast with colorful stones and
shipped to the lot for on-site assembly. Earley wanted to develop a higher
standard of affordable housing after the Depression, but only a handful of
the houses were built before he died and the written records of his concrete
casting techniques were destroyed in a fire.

What exactly is his claim to fame?  Concrete connoisseur?
