Résumé
In the early 1900s, industrialists developed huge new factory areas in American cities, prompting the creation nearby of large new blue-collar residential districts. Simultaneously, middle-class reformers and commercial retailers were learning how to further a subtle revolution in the ideas, technologies, and social practices for workers’ homes. Northern California’s “minimal bungalows” — small houses, often less than 800 square feet (74 square meters) — compared to earlier worker-built cottages, record how home buyers, reformers, retailers, and builders promoted and adopted notions of a single, visually uniform, and permanent national home culture for working class America. The resulting minimal bungalow neighborhoods of 1900-1930 represent new rules for house interiors linked to parallel ideas and practices at the larger scales of yard, streetscape, block, and district.
