Place of publication: Pittsburgh, Pa
Language: eng
Subjects: Housing construction; Prefabricated houses
Notes: Folded pamphlets highlighting the convenience of "electrical living" in different types and sizes of pre-fab houses designed, constructed, and equipped by a team of local builders, decorators, electrical planners and department stores. The houses were created under a brand-new concept of home planning whose aim was to produce dwellings in different income brackets (thrift, budget, ideal and deluxe) that would represent different degrees of "electrical living."

The collection consists of three pamphlets showing layouts for the thrift, budget, and deluxe levels of houses in the Hartford area. The accompanying tickets are for the "Hartford Community Home Show" which entitled the bearer to visit each of the 4 houses on view in the Hartford area from June 12-18, 1948.
