This exhibition explores a unique moment in American architectural and cultural history when affordability, style, and patriotism converged. Highlighting the work of the Architects’ Small House Bureau and the popularity of the Monterey Style, the exhibition examines how architects in Palm Beach responded to national movements advocating for modest, well-designed homes during the interwar and post-WWII periods. It traces how regional adaptations of small house ideals—offered through ready-made plans by prominent local architects like Volk, Wyeth, and Shoumate—allowed design to flourish even within limited budgets. Set against the backdrop of Depression-era resilience and postwar optimism, this showcase underscores the enduring appeal of thoughtfully scaled, stylistically rich domestic architecture.
