Living in the Thirties: Fabulous Found Photos Show Interiors of a House From the 1930s

-vintageeveryday.com

The decade of the 1930s was tough for many Americans dealing with the Depression, but despite the economic downturn, many homemakers did what they had always done: Take care of their homes.

A 1930s interior is characterized by striking color combinations; usually golds, oranges and blue shades and, of course, monochrome. Bold geometrics appeared in tiling, parquet flooring, door panels, lighting and metalwork.

Modern design caught up with middle class housewives, so streamlined modern is mixed with the popular American styles. Nesting is never more important than when times are tough.

Though the 1920s are often called “roaring”, the 1930s are marked by a design revolution.

These fabulous photos were found by John Mathew Smith that show interiors of a house from the 1930s.

National Cash Register Company Building, Los Angeles, California Source: California State Library

Interior fo the NCR building, which used to stand on S. Hope St. near where FIDM is today. Look at that absolutely clean, gorgeous interior design.

Meanwhile, it just occurred to me that I’ve seen another example of 1930s architecture associated with NCR -- their building at the 1939 World’s Fair in NY. Witness:

From Wikipedia: 

Designed for the 1939 New York World's Fair, the National Cash Register Building functioned not only as an exhibit center, but as the world's largest active cash register. The design showcases NCR's new 100 Model through the seven-story register atop the building.

(There was also a similar building built at at Fair Park, Texas.)
