Popular Homes. by 1960s HOUSE PLANS) - 1960.

Chicago.: National Plan Service.. 1960.. 32 page brochure, 10 1/2 x 8 1/4 inches, featuring contemporary home plans illustrated with line drawings of exteriors. Obligatory leafy surrounds on all home illustrations. Most of the homes feature single level floor plans that include "with" or "without basement" options. A garage or car port figures in most of the plans, and several of the homes feature a second floor with bedrooms and bath. What appears to be a coffee stain the size of a silver dollar is on the booklet's last page with some further staining to verso of rear cover. Owner's name in ink on front cover. Good condition overall. Photo illustrations (black and white) on verso of front cover and page 1 depict aspects of various homes' interiors and exteriors (butterfly chair, LP record player, flying saucer ceiling light, big box tv, wheeled outdoor grill, etc.) The images bring to mind Joseph Conrad's succinct: "The horror! The horror." .
