I'm hoping to do some research for my MA thesis on the role the Parade of Homes events in the postwar housing boom. As discussed in some posts, Houston has a great PoH history. Does anyone know where the booklets (those rare, allusive things!) might be found? Or even where any archival materials- plans, photographs, records, builder information, etc- may be found for any of the larger PoH during the 1950s? I've come up empty-handed with the research I've done in the larger Houston archival repositories.
Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss the project.
I also just want to add that the interest and activism around Houston's modern legacy is very exciting and refreshing!

Hey everyone,
I'm hoping to do some research for my MA thesis on the role the Parade of Homes events in the postwar housing boom. As discussed in some posts, Houston has a great PoH history. Does anyone know where the booklets (those rare, allusive things!) might be found? Or even where any archival materials- plans, photographs, records, builder information, etc- may be found for any of the larger PoH during the 1950s? I've come up empty-handed with the research I've done in the larger Houston archival repositories.

take care.
