I was alive and living in the 1950's. Nearly all homes had an indoor bathroom and toilet. A few people living in the country still had outhouses, but all of the people my family knew, lived in the country and had full bathrooms. At that time, bathtubs were used, and I really knew no one who had a shower in their home. Hardwood floors were popular in many homes, but some of the upper class people began to install "wall to wall" carpeting. There were no microwaves, and very few people had a telephone. My family got a television in 1954, but it was black and white and "snowy". To get a station to come in clear, one had to go outside the house and hand turn the antenna, while another person stayed inside and coached them when to stop. Many of the homes that people lived in during the 1950's are still standing. We had running water, but often the sink was free standing and not built into a cupboard like they are today. We had electricity, refrigerators, stove, etc. We did not have computers or Video Games.
