4 1930's Home- Seth Gebhart

1930

A 1930 style home was a little bit different than the average home built today. While it featured many of the same features that we have today, such as a front door and covered porch, and patio they also have small but noticeably different characteristics other than style. 

Because the automobile had not taken off into the automobile era yet, the garage-ma-hal had not yet taken place. But as you can see, in this house below there is a covered car port that the owner could park his car under if he had a car. Often housing built during this time period had either a car port or garage behind the house. It allows for a much more revealing facade and open feeling to this side of the house. 

The large patios are what I notice most when I examine a 1930's home. Often times the patios are large and the car ports are large as well. The simpler days allowed for a more transparent home.
