Leisurama! The Home of the Future! (And exclamation points!)
By brunoI don't know about you, but my dream has always been to live in a home inspired Nikita Krushchev and Richard Nixon. That's why I was so excited to find out about the Leisurama, a late 1950s-era prefab home inspired by the Krushchev-Nixon kitchen debate.
The homes, which were sold by Macy's beginning in 1963, were sold for around $10,000, and came fully furnished with appliances, fixtures, plates and even toothbrushes. Take that, commies!
Filmmaker Jake Gorst's Leisurama is a documentary by about these quirky homes and the people who still live in them. Check out the trailers for more.
