The Modern Life

The Modern Life is a blog about American culture from roughly the 1930s through the 1960s. The point is to give a glimpse into the everyday life, doing my best to be historically accurate and avoiding fabricated and stereotyped current views of a past that never was. You can contact me at grey.haas@gmail.com

  • “Dining room designed by Harwell Hamilton Harris with walls of natural finish redwood and furniture in birch. Rear wall consists of folding doors which conceal a buffet. Illumination for the back room comes from clerestory windows above a glass ceiling, the remainder of the ceiling being one-eighth inch thick flexboard. The floor is covered with Lauhala matting.”
