The evolution of the size and different features of the two living spaces are immense. One can find it hard to believe the technological and cultural progress that has been achieved over a span of fifty-five years. Suburbs have become increasingly further away from the capitol, with some original neighborhoods falling destitute to crime and poverty. The Greenbelt community and Cheltenham community can be assessed as good representation of the people of the time.

The family living in the Greenbelt home was of lower class in the thirties. This statement can be concluded when one looks at the overwhelming evidence. The master bedroom, as well as others in the house, is relatively plain, containing only the essentials of living during the time period. The depression forced these people into this government built neighborhood because of the affordability of its homes. And as a result of this hardship, every artifact in the bedroom (of which there were a limited number) had a very practical purpose. The sewing machine, being one of the best examples, was probably used on a daily basis to make and repair the families clothes. Perhaps its placement in the home also meant that the women of the home was a talented seamstress. In this time period, style was not at the forefront of this family. The radio in the bedroom could also denote the male's interest in being informed and entertained with daily functions. For the time, the radio was the technology.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Cheltenham residence presented many artifacts not present in the Greenbelt home. With approximately 4 times the artifacts found in Greenbelt, the Cheltenham master bedroom tells the story of an entirely different era and social class. The family is obviously of a middle class status as opposed to the Greenbelt family and their low income status. The spacious room along with adjacent bathroom and numerous windows in the Cheltenham bedroom have led to that conclusion. Analyzing the bedroom further, it is important to note a few of the artifacts that can best describe this living space (one cannot name them all because it would take too long and is not the goal). For example, the enormous amount of jewelery, make-up, lipstick, lotions, and cremes found on a couple of the dressers indicate that these people are very concerned with their image and other people's perception of them. Another example of this concern can be found right next to the dressers in the form of exercise equipment. The exercise bicycle and abdominal apparatus are devices used to help members of the family shape their bodies to their personal preference, another image concern. Finally, the televison is similar to the radio in Greenbelt, it provides entertainment and information to all the members of the family.

After thoroughly comparing the two living spaces one can say that they have more differences then similarities. This can be attributed to the families different agenda's. The family in Greenbelt is just concerned with keeping its head above water. Life in the thirties was far less concerned with extravagance and more concerned with just surviving. However, in Cheltenham, the family is not dealing with economic strife, and has focused more on the non-essentials, such as appearence and comfort. A luxury that the Greenbelt family didn't have the priviledge of being a benefactor of.
