It's funny that you mention that, since the style was emulated throughout the country, but it lost its elegance with thick double-paned windows and the lines of caulk around the edges necessary in northern climates.

The 1950s houses in my area often has a "breezeway", which was a covered porch between the garage and the house. Some people closed these in, but they didn't have central air, so they were cold as hell in the winter.
