Highlights from SAHARA: Suburban Housing
Dec 9, 2016
by
Jacqueline Spafford and Jeffrey Klee, SAHARA Co-Editors
This month’s highlights from SAHARA includes 20th-century suburban housing from around the globe. Searching “suburb” in the collection returns hundreds of images from across the United States and well beyond. Look for Mark Hinchman’s views of Subang Jaya, in Malaysia, as well as Dell Upton’s view of a cul-de-sac surrounded by oil tanks in Signal Hill, California.
