post-war suburbia
Early suburban imagery depicting production versus lifestyle.
A Pacific Portable Construction Co. Truck filled and ready to distribute, making sure that no newly built suburban home be left without its matching furniture set.
The “Do-it-yourself” houses, a precut kit. Pick your own home.
The crops.
And a little humor thanks to some images and quotes from the book ‘Suburbia’ by Bill Owens:
“My dad thinks it a good idea to take all the leaves off the tree and rake up the yard. I think he’s crazy.”
“I bought the lawn in six-foot rolls. It’s easy to handle. I prepare the ground and my wife and son helped roll out the grass. In one day you have a front yard.”
