Any idea why it was called a Bride’s House? I am wondering if it meant it was a starter home sort of idea and thus associated with newlyweds? In which case, the first way I would exercise my freedom to live as I pleased would to not be having so many visitors (who I assume are parents of the newlyweds) visiting. I may not even have told them my new address.
I was wondering that, too. Newlyweds need time to themselves. Then I read “See why House Beautiful’s Guide for the Bride selected it above all others as the ideal Bride’s House of 1956.” So I guess you pick your house before you move in, and then you have a home to move into together. A starter house, as you say.
Floorplan looks like 3 bedroom – 1 bath. Yeah, that explains the bride house thing. Try living with one bath when you got kids or are past the newly wed phase.

It is interesting that it is marketed towards the female spouse, isn’t it? Or perhaps they sold it as a Groom’s House in other publications.

You’re right. Who cared about her opinion back then?

How cool would it be to decorate a house in that style today? I think I would love it! ❤

What parts of the house were steel? Surely the interior walls were something more conventional.

Then they should call it, “You’re going to list this house in two years.”
