Aerial Image of proposed "Howard City," 1932/33

Working with prominent African American architect Hilyard R. Robinson, Stonorov and his partner Alfred Kastner, planned from 1932 to 1933 to provide a housing solution to a “blighted” location directly south of Howard University in Washington, D.C. The three developed a proposal for "Howard City" to the federal government to finance a mixed-use, mixed-income housing program using Robinson’s formal solutions and local contacts and relying on Stonorov and Kastner’s experiences with the design of public housing.
