From Log Cabins to Smart Homes
As America celebrates 250 years, it's incredible to think about how much our homes have changed.
Back in 1776, homes were smaller, families were larger, and things like indoor plumbing, air conditioning, and refrigerators didn't exist. Fast forward to today, and many homes feature open floor plans, smart technology, home offices, and conveniences our founders could never have imagined.
A few fun facts:
✨ The first White House had no running water.
✨ Fewer than 10% of homes had air conditioning in 1950. Today, nearly 90% do.
✨ The average new home is more than twice the size of a home built in 1950.
While homes have evolved over the last 250 years, their purpose remains the same: bringing people together and creating lasting memories.
What do you think someone from 1776 would be most impressed by today?
