The emphasis was put on the exterior appearance rather than the interior. The two bays across the front and back represent a traditional form. The interiors are very similar in appearance as well. They each contain white enabled steel kitchen cabinets, which are not especially good looking, a washer, and a GE refrigerator. These modern amenities along with others were believed to lessen the domestic work of women and free up their time, however this was hardly the case. The similarity of the homes allowed their creation to be extremely efficient.
