67 Homes for Canadians

by

67 Homes for Canadians is a book of house plans published by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) in 1947. Among the sixty-seven plans were many iterations of the one-and-a-half storey strawberry box house. One of the most influential house plan books after the war, 67 Homes is said to have shaped house designs over the next two decades.
