The Emergency Fleet Corporation houses in Dundalk are hollow-tile construction with stuccoed exterior walls and slate roofs. Despite the budget limitations placed on Palmer, these houses have a harmonious Arts and Crafts character, with varying configurations and details. Old Dundalk includes row houses, semidetached, and detached houses designed by Palmer according to nine basic types, with differences in roof and porch form or plan. All the houses offer five or six rooms and are one-and-a-half-stories high, some with additional attic space. The widest street is Admiral Boulevard, which features spacious semidetached and detached houses on larger lots in the blocks closer to Veterans Park. The blocks north of Yorkship Square, at the crossing of Admiral and Midship Road, transition to primarily row houses. Other roads with vaguely nautical names such as Flagship, Kinship, and Township are narrower but lined with a similar variety of types, continuing the stylistic theme, some now altered with aluminum siding.
