Like today, the focal point was the entertainment center. In 1940 that

meant a piano if affordable and a crystal radio set at a minimum. Indoor

Plumbing and electricity were no longer considered a novel luxury and a

telephone was almost as important as a kitchen stove. A refrigerator to

replace the old ice box and a washing machine to replace the scrub board

and you had the makings of a modern home.

Houses were alot dirtier in those days as they didn't have many cleaning supplies.

Most houses were made into blocks of flats as many people needed homes and it was cheaper to make big houses into big blocks of 10-15 flats.
