Title	American home exhibit
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00596
Description	American Home of the Immediate Future, Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). "The American Home of the Immediate Future, next to the bank on Friendship Mall, incorporates many practical advances in the manufacture of homes. ‘Manufacture’ is the correct word, because the American Home was designed to be prebuilt by the Panelbild Division of U.S. Plywood Corp. It differs from the usual pre-fabricated home in that entire sections of the house are factory-made, then simply bolted together on the lot. Thus, the homeowner chooses the number of bedrooms he wants and orders a bedroom wing appropriately equipped.” (Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 62.)
