1956 National Homes "Interesting"
Kitchens had cooktop, wall oven, and dishwasher by Frigidaire and a Combo washer/dryer by GE. Heating was by Delco and Cooling by Frigidaire. Very early version of the spin tube and combo.

<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">Our first house in Cupertino was similar to that National Homes model but not nearly as deluxe. It had those same floor-to-ceiling windows that faced the street. The name of the street was "Arata Way" and friends called our home "fish bowl on Arata". We built a fence with double-lattice at the top which created a front patio off the little French doors in the kitchen. It was really very nice. A few years later we moved out of that 950 sq ft house and into a place three times larger with a pool on one of San Jose's most prestigious streets, Dry Creek Road in the Willow Glen area. We were never as happy there as the little house in Cupertino with the wall furnace and the Crosley metal kitchen cabinets. When my partner passed away in that big house it made it all the worse.</span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #008000;">It seems to me that today size has everything to do with the popularity of a house. That's the first thing that people ask about your home. Houses in my community usually sell in 2 or 3 days, partially because it's known in real estate circles as a sort of "rainbow flag" development of 66 homes. The Southwest-style house for sale across the street has been on the market for 2 or 3 weeks. It's 1,500 sq ft size is probably the reason.</span>

I could look at these all day! Love the furniture in reply #73 - makes me want to go shopping... LOL
And those decorative light bulbs offered by GE in reply #79. What a great way to gussy up fixtures that were literally just a socket on a wall.
Thank you, Louis, for putting these threads together for us all to enjoy!!
