This book reveals what life was like in the 1950s American home. In that age of post-war prosperity and optimism, and of suburbanisation and the 'baby boom', the American dream seemed more achievable than ever before amid seismic changes in the home and work-place, new convenience technology, and new ways of living in general.
From Ranch House to American Modernism to affordable homes in the suburbs, 1950s American Home is the perfect introduction to how we, our parents and even our grandparents lived their lives in the middle of the last century.
