Residential garages have been part of the architectural landscape for almost as long as there have been cars. Two car garages became popular in the sixties and seventies as more and more families became 'two-car families'. This garage would look right at home with almost any era of twentieth or twenty-first century house.

By the mid 1970's mobile homes had well entrenched themselves into the realm of affordable housing. As their popularity as temporary and permanent residences increased, the designs became more elaborate, and ultimately rivaled some of their conventional housing equivalents.

The Flamingo was one of the first of the double wide mobile homes, and were soon seen in mobile home parks across North America.

Mobile homes have come a long way over the years, evolving from over-sized travel trailers designed for occasional relocation by the owner. They further evolved into ‘modular’ homes, consisting of two, three, or more sections, transported on special frames called floats, usually pulled by short wheelbase, single axel trucks.

Modern modular homes are built to relatively the same standards and codes as “stick-built” homes, and often are placed on conventional concrete foundations.

Back in the early 1900’s in rural Saskatchewan a house didn’t need extravagance or embellishments to be a home. For the typical farm family of the prairies, the main priorities in life were practicality and functionality.

Recycling is nothing new either. This house once sat in Viscount, Saskatchewan, about 45 miles east of Saskatoon, and was later moved to my grandparent’s homestead outside the town of Bruno, about 35 miles to the north.

Fort Langley was the site of one of several Hudson's Bay trading Posts established in the early 1800's to handle the fur trade between British Columbia and England. The area also became an important agricultural center. Grandma's house was situated about a half mile from the Canadian Northern Railway station.

This two story home was inspired by a farmhouse in the prairies, and with it's wrap-around veranda was typical of many of the era. With additional accents it can be customized as a Victorian home.

The Parker House is thought to be one of the many kit houses available by mail order in the early 1900's. Although now showing signs of age and neglect, it was once a showpiece in what was then an upscale neighborhood in Vancouver, BC. Unfortunately the days are numbered as this formerly elegant yet practical four bedroom two story home yields to higher density urban development.
