The Westinghouse "Home of Tomorrow"

In 1934, Westinghouse opened its “Home of Tomorrow,” a house which displayed its novel technologies to the public — bringing over 100,000 visitors to Mansfield over two years — and served as a lab for the company’s engineers.

With electric clothes dryers, radio-controlled garage doors and infrared-ray lamps that “reduce[d] housekeeping to a matter of dials and buttons,” the home, the local paper wrote, “was the most completely electrified home in America.”
