Architecture in the 1930's was mostly about building homes. In 1919 there were eight million homes, and then in 1939 there were 12 million homes!
Most of the 1930's homes were built in suburban developments in the country side close to towns, or cities.
Most houses were built by Speculative builders.
Then there was domestic Architecture.
The main style for Domestic Architecture was 'Tudorbethan' or 'Jacobethan' Style.
The houses were often half-timbered with a mix of Red brick, and some Pebbledash.
Windows had wooden frames with iron casements, and diamond-shaped leaded panes. The roof of the houses often had red clay tiles.
The doors of the houses were Oak, with Iron nails, and fittings.
There was also a style called, "Moderne."
This style stayed away from all of the decorative houses, but really elaborated on glass, and Chrome.
The outside of the house was concrete painted white, with a flat roof.
Later in the 1930's they started to make the houses green, or blue.
The typical house in the 30's was smaller than the ones in 1914. It had a front room off a hall, and second living room at the rear, and a kitchen.
Upstairs there were two large bedrooms, one small one, and a bathroom, and a toilet.
Something that was new to the typical house was a garage.
Later on there was a also a Bungalow house that had all of it's rooms on a single level, or a Chalet-style Bungalow with one or two bedrooms in the roof.
