A kitschy, and yet sobering cold war architecture story.

In 1963, All State Properties, capitalizing on publicity from an international debate between Nixon and Khrushchev, built a development of second homes in Montauk, New York. The homes were designed by architect Andrew Geller at industrial designer Raymond Loewy's office and were sold through Macy's Department Store. They came fully furnished, down to the toothbrush. A kitschy cold war architecture story.
