Auto house of Will A. Harris of Texas.
Photo by Unknown, Gift to LOC from Herbert A. French in 1947.
Here's a link to the photo at the Library of Congress.
This 1924 photograph of an “auto house” captures a moment when the idea of life on the road was taking imaginative new forms. More novelty than necessity, it reflects an era fascinated with mobility and invention - inviting us to wonder about the creativity, ambition, and audacity behind turning one's car into a rolling home or home away from home - there is no public contextual information available with this photograph. I wish I could go inside! So many questions!
