At the time of the construction of the Greenbelt living space, life in America for most was a struggle. Evidence of this can be found in the master bedroom located on the second floor. A townhouse of the thirties, its walls are for the most part drab and undecorated, with merely a few pictures and a mirror. This could be an attribute of the attitude of people in the thirties such as a particular cultural style or merely a monetarily based décor. Following with the trend of the paint on the walls, the linens and curtains are also a plain white, to me very unappealing to the eye. The furniture in the room consists of a wooden table, on which a sewing machine resides, two wooden nightstands, with one holding a radio the other a clock.

Also found in the room are three wooden chairs. Two of these have no padding and the third, is padded with pillows for comfort. Next to this chair there is a bookcase filled to the top with books. In addition to the bookcase, there is a wooden dresser, or "bureau" tucked in a corner opposite of the bed. Finally, located above this bureau is the mirror and on it a few trinkets such as jewelry. Reflecting on the overall appearance of the room, one can make several inferences. For instance, the bedroom appears to be a room of both leisure and labor. The presence of the sewing machine and ironing boards mean that many of the daily tasks were achieved there. The radio represents the notion that the room was used for leisurely activities. In the era of the thirties, the radio was a place for the family to gather and in a sense bond with one another. The size of the room is small, probably an even greater hint at the lower income status of this family. Furthermore, it can be assumed that the regular actions of a bedroom took place in the Greenbelt master bedroom, i.e. sleeping, resting, etc.
