Three Bedrooms and a Carport by Scott Solliday In the late 1940s, America’s postwar boom brought prosperity, which generally meant a new house and a new car for middle class families. This changed everything, here and across the country. New neighborhoods and roads quickly spread out from Tempe in every direction. Look around! Half of Tempe still showcases the new modern mid-century architecture of that time, the Ranch style house. Learn the secrets of how a basic box with smooth lines and simple details became America’s favorite house.
Scott Solliday is currently Senior Cultural Resource Specialist (historian and archaeologist) at HDR Engineering but once was a curator at the Tempe History Museum. Stop by Tempe History Museum for this free talk presented by Tempe History Society with generous support from Friendship Village.
