Photograph depicting a rigid frame house, also called "rigid digit" or model 319. The rigid frame houses were supplied by the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources. They were first introduced in Apex by 1955 and continued to be built until 1959. The program was expanded to 14 other communities. The houses were intended as transitional housing and were slightly larger than the igloo or tupiq.
