Hamma House construction
After the war, in 1946, four musicians formed the Cooperative Housing Group. The housing shortage for returning servicemen and the excitement of creating a model community through cooperative methods was forefront in the minds of the original founders. After being discharged from the Army, Ray Siegel was reunited with two musicians formerly with the Indianapolis Symphony, Leonard Krupnick and Jules Sulkan. With a fourth person, Gene Komer, a meeting was held in May of 1946 to discuss the possibilities of purchasing land together.
