I live in one of the first Levittown, NY homes built in 1947. My father worked to build them and I bought one in 1971. It’s a sturdy home but I removed the asbestos shingles many years ago. Levitt provided a lot of shopping malls, great well water, schools, swimming pools, a library and other important items to complete a wonderful neighborhood. It’s hard to believe that my 74 year old home built for veterans of World War Two is still great.

The entire basement had asbestos tiles. The problem was that many were broken, cracked and coming up off the floor. That's when it's a problem, and they must be removed. If they are still intact, then you can just cover them with modern vinyl tiles. It wasn't too bad, as the remaining tiles, came off the floor, in one piece. But disposing of them properly is very expensive! Radon gas is even worse... as you can never get rid of that! As a friend of mine discovered, after buying a very old house. They installed some sort of positive ventilation system to ventilate the air, beneath the slab floor, to the outside. I wouldn't want to live there! Oh, you can only guess what the former owner died of. Lung cancer. And he didn't even smoke.

I grew up in a Levitt built home in a community adjacent to the actual Levittown. Each of the homes had identical first floor layouts-kitchen in the front, living room with giant picture window in the back, washing machine and oil burner in the kitchen (next to the fireplace), bathroom in front next to the kitchen, and 2 bedrooms one larger and one smaller. When playing at a friend’s house, everyone knew where the bathroom was🙂. There was also the 12 inch Admiral tv in the closet under the stairs, and a fireplace open on both sides to the kitchen and living room. When my parents purchased the home in 1956, it was 6 years old and cost $13,990. Previous owners had finished the attic, adding 2 more bedrooms and a small bathroom. One bedroom had the chimney right in the middle. A garage and a jalousie windowed patio room were also added. That room eventually became our tv room. The house was on a corner lot across the street from a playground and baseball field. We also had use of a community pool that everyone was taxed for. At one time, backyard fences were not permitted so you could go through the backyards to your friend’s house. Most homes had an apple tree and a willow tree in the back yard, with maple trees in the front. We had pine trees, hedges, forsythia and lilacs. All of the utility wires were on poles that ran through the backyards. As with everything, the neighborhood had changed. I sold the home about 20 years ago, settling my parent’s estate. Some of the homes have been knocked down, and replaced by McMansions, selling for over $1 million.

The correct spelling is "Levittown", and the first one was created and developed in 1947 by William J. Levitt (of Levitt & Sons), in what used to be a Long Island potato field, with an entire community of homes ready to be bought and occupied by March 1949 [another "Levittown" was created in Pennsylvania]. This commercial film, prepared for the "Stran-Steel" division of Great Lakes Steel Corporation, touches upon how their steel was a major part of the construction of the first "Levittown".

I'm surprised Levittown, PA didn't become a Superfund site what with all that asbestos & lead paint. ☣️

What's most important is making sure every goddamn mother fucking uneducated comment gets their little funny negative comment in about the past being bad. Hah, fucking idiots. I waste my days and nights educating these people on the truth of this era, I will never stop because we are forgetting the unracist, unsexist, normal and smart country we used to live in. Forget the south, the south was a failed region since 1861-65. It isn't widely regarded as the mainstake of America.

FYI: This was actually filmed in 1950--not `47. Levittown wasn't nearly as built up in `47 as this film shows.
