The City of Hastings in Nebraska established the Housing Authority of the City of Hastings in 1954. The purpose of this agency was to acquire a temporary housing project, originally built by the U.S. Navy, located on the southeast edge of the city. This housing project, known as NEB. 25032 and 25074, was constructed for approximately 10,000 workers employed at the Naval Ammunition Depot during its peak production period. Locally, the housing project was referred to as Spencer Park or Chimney Town. It consisted of 198 cement-block dwelling structures, which included 840 family dormitory dwelling units, as well as seven non-dwelling structures. The Housing Authority managed and operated the property until it gradually sold most of it to the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, Inc., which is now known as Good Samaritan Village, a retirement center. Circle F, however, was sold to the Good Hope Training School.
