Still Searching ...

I have discovered that the 20th Century Home was moved to Herndon, Virginia, by March 27, 1955. Unfortunately, there was no information on the exact address. It may be time to call in the aid of a reference librarian.

I'm sorry to have missed the Home Show of 1955. For 80 cents, you could take in hourly demonstrations, witness a real wedding, and listen to the music of Jimmy Dean and his Texas Wildcats. And parking was free! Where would you find free parking these days in D.C.?
