Development

The 1940s saw public housing expand to Staten Island, and the Berry Houses were completed on October 30, 1950. It was designed by Alfred Mosher Butts and named after Brig. Gen. Charles W. Berry (1871–1941), who was both a soldier and a physician.

The Berry Houses are one of three public housing complexes located in Staten Island's 122nd Police Precinct.
