Lived-In Feeling: Examples of Pre-War Architecture

The homes built in the pre-war era were embellished with special touches -- high ceilings, arched doorways and nickel-plated features. During this time in big cities, such as New York City, demand grew for apartments that felt more like homes. Previously, apartments were not known for being very comfortable. Some typical features of pre-war homes are hardwood floors, moldings, high ceilings and fireplaces.
