As seen on ApartmentTherapy today, the Huntington Library is hosting nearly 58,000 vintage home images (swoon!), lit in grand Hollywood style, on its Maynard Parker Collection website. Maynard Parker was a photographer for 1920s-1960s home design publications like Sunset and House Beautiful. His work documented post-war suburban architecture, including Richard Neutra and Cliff May homes as well as those of the average American. And unless you lived in those heady times, you might never have seen these pictures before.
The Huntington Library also created a fun audio slideshow of Parker's work, lovingly narrated by the curator of photographs, Jennifer Watts.
Mix yourself a Mai Tai or Tom Collins, settle down in the Heywake chair in your Florida room or on your swank patio (a girl can dream), and drool over this marvelous collection!
