The Case Study House program (1945–1966) was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture. The program, which concentrated on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom.

With over 150 photos and plans and a map of where all houses are (or were) located.
