America's Little House
America's Little House was a temporary demonstration home located at the northeast corner of Park Avenue and East 39th Street in Murray Hill, Manhattan, New York City. It was designed by architect Roger Bullard with the assistance of architect Clifford C. Wendehack. The home was built in 1934 and the project was organized by the Better Homes in America campaign to promote single-family homeownership, modernization, and improvement. The house's garage included a radio broadcasting studio used by Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS). The home was a Georgian colonial revival, three-bedroom house with a garage, surrounded by a lawn and white picket fence. The eight-room house was designed so that the average American family would be able to afford it. The home was closed in 1935 after attracting 166,000 visitors; an office building was built on the site in 1954.
