(More customer reviews)Elegant Small Homes of the Twenties features 99 home designs from a contest in the 1920s. It provides insights into trends and innovations of the period as well as thought provoking design ideas. The homes are beautiful and picturesque, but have limited baths and very small bedrooms and kitchens by todays standards. I've enjoyed exploring color specifications and materials lists also provided on many of the plans. Apple green seems to have been a favorite color.

In 1927, the Chicago Tribune sponsored a competition for "trained men of talent, incorporating into the small home ideas of real worth, types of rare charm and the best possible plans for comfort and convenience." Nearly 100 designs for five- and six-room houses offer fascinating snapshots of American domestic architecture of the 1920s: Southern colonials, Normandy cottages, and more.
