OKC's Living Conditioned Home
In 1955, Living For Young Homemakers magazine sponsored the “Living Conditioned” homes program, which was sponsored by Hotpoint as part of their Golden Anniversary celebration. The magazine selected four architects from all over the nation to design modern homes with a “magnificently simple design for gracious living” while also incorporating all-electric appliances (Hotpoint, of course), as well as the latest in air conditioning.
Four model homes were built and later given away to lucky contestants in the Hotpoint Giveaway, and others who didn't win homes could buy plans for them for $10 from Living For Young Homemakers. This design was built in Oklahoma City (and in 43 other states) and is pretty spectacular for a modest mod. The home is on the market now -- here are more photos of it and history about it:
