Comments (2)Especially the 1920s-30s examples are probably what high level design trends were rather than what houses actually looked like. If you notice, the trends after the war start to resemble more middle-class stuff. I think the "1965" photo is completely misplaced. That looks nothing like he 1965 magazines I have (AD, HB) because my house was designed in 1965. I would put that photo at 1958 or so....See MoreHow far do you live from the place you were born?
Comments (91)What an interesting question! My answer? about 1300 miles. Lars' and Jmms' comments are resonating -- thank goodness in the US we can pretty much live where we wish and do as we wish, because in other times and circumstances, that was not possible. My Mom/Grandma/Family were sent to an internment camp -- that was pretty far from where they had chosen to live and where my Mom was born. I don't have "grandma's china" or anything else -- if she had any in the first place, it was not useful enough to be dragged to a camp. They did choose to return to their home after the government allowed it (which was quite a bit after the war) and their home had been completely looted, so it was a start over from scratch. During the war, my Mom was sent even further away (2500 miles) for an opportunity to get out of the camp and get a high school/trade education...with no idea of if/when she'd be allowed back, or what would really happen to her (she was about 16 then). Sometimes circumstances push people to make tough choices. My Dad left his country of birth for better opportunities, and did the best he could; we moved a fair amount when I was a kid to pursue better opportunities for our family....See MoreUser
