Originally prepared for a catalog of molding profile styles, this series of sketches illustrate various American housing styles. This mid-century modern ranch house is shown with its sweeping rooflines, reminiscent of the jet vapor trails in the sky above. Nestled into the carport is a Plymouth Valiant, recalling the country's colonial past while its license plate bears the number of Uranium 238, acknowledging the reality of the nuclear age. Not shown is the bomb shelter in the backyard.
