It’s Sunday in 1958, and The Times features a suburban tract home, designed with young (and growing) families in mind.  There’s no address for this house, so we don’t where it was. Click here to download the page: Download 1958_0209_home.jpg

Fighting in the Middle East … President Eisenhower’s health is improving … Bus service is expected to resume in Pasadena and Glendale once striking union members ratify their contract … Investigators try to determine why an ICBM exploded shortly after being launched … And Brigitte Bardot has a nervous breakdown.

    The architect/occupant of the featured house is Don Wexler, who went on to be a major architect in Palm Springs. See http://www.psmodcom.com/Architects%20Pages/DonaldWexler.html
