Explore the history of Ranch-style houses, which are a uniquely American domestic architectural style – long and low. Many ranch neighborhoods like those in Corvallis developed during the post WWII “Atomic Age” when housing demand for returning servicemen boomed. These homes reflect an informal and casual lifestyle and the auto-oriented culture of their time.
