I went to this page and then clicked on ‘Letter Houses’ under Richland, in the Architectural History section, along the left-hand column.
There are loads of the A’s, B’s, C’s and F’s still around. They’re easy to spot. If we ever turned into an area with a huge housing need and no more land upon which to build, these homes would be snapped up and completely remodeled. Some people have done it already, but usually most look like a regular house that has been maintained. Few houses have been torn down to the studs and then re-built maintaining the original floorplan. Mostly because the original plans are smaller than what we’re used to today. One bathroom? Are you kidding me? No garage? What?
Have fun looking at the old Richland houses. Remember, they were designed back when anyone over 40 probably remembered using outhouses, so this whole indoor plumbing thing was pretty cool. Even if there was only one toilet for a family of six!
