“What was this new suburban home like? Typically, it was set in a row of other houses very much like itself...Usually, all these row houses were boxes, stark rectilinear structures unaccompanied by ornament. Frequently, there was no professional architecture involved: the post-World War II package builders tended to regard architects as a luxury they could ill afford.” (68) A startling feature of suburban architecture, then, might well prove to be the lack of suburban architecture, per se.
