The original project was modified by architect Di Fausto between the cerimony day of the foundation of Predappio Nuova. Its name celebrates Lord William Becker, who approved the Mussolini politics and supported the new urban project offering a large amount of money. Lord Becker's funding was used to build this house, whose aim was assuring a good accomodation for homeless families, damaged by the landslide of the old town.
