What a home should be
The BF found this vintage guide to finer living at a used book fair a few months ago. It was published in 1957 by Caldbeck-Cosgrove Corp., has a red comb binding and is 96 pages long. It contains house plans, renderings of functional yet stylish kitchens and baths, and even suggestions on spacing of furniture in bedrooms (“Chests or dressers need a free space of 2.5 feet in front; a closet should have this much clearance in front of the door.”)
Along with the foreword, which cites the Women’s Congress on Housing, here are some of my favorite illustrations.
