Want to take a nostalgic trip into the past and see how your grandparents embraced new technology around the house? Then check out the Designing Domesticity: Industrial Design for Modern Living, 1930 – 1960 exhibit at the University of Houston's College of Architecture.
The exhibit showcases appliances and furniture from that period, courtesy of UH architecture curator Stephen James and collector Donald Emmite (who designed and organized the exhibit and is guest curating it). We get a kick out of seeing what people called “progress” back in those days — that’s why we still love the Carousel of Progress at Disney World. One of our favorites at this exhibit is the Toast-O-Lator (pictured), which featured a side entrance and exit for your toast – nifty!
The exhibit runs through Oct. 28th.
