An architectural style originating in California in the 1930s. This became the most dominant style throughout the country in the 1950s and 1960s when the availability of the automobile allowed people to move to the suburbs (where land was cheaper) and build sprawling one-story houses on large lots. Identifying features include low-pitched hip or gable roofs with a moderate to wide eave overhang, horizontal design emphasis, and a one or two bay garage or car port.
