Your Historic Home - National Homes and Alliance's Post-War Houses
The Alliance Area Preservation Society (AAPS) presents Tomorrow’s Homes . . . Today! - National Homes and Alliance’s Post-War Houses, the next public program of the Your Historic Home project, on Tuesday, May 22, at 7:00 p.m., in the Rodman Public Library Auditorium.
Tomorrow’s Homes . . . Today! will look at the Alliance houses where Baby Boomers were born, and where Millennials seek their Mid-Century Modern charm. It will focus on over 300 National Homes built here between 1948 and 1966. These affordable ranch houses were THE in-demand style and size for returning GIs who wanted to get back to normal, start their families, and had the GI Bill to help. They are scattered throughout Alliance and Sebring.
