Three houses are reconstructed to the way they would have been in the interwar period. House #1 is a lavish upper class house with four servants and many material possessions including a washing machine where no one needs to work. House #2 is an average middle class home with electricity, hot and cold water, and a gas stove where the father is the sole provider. House #3 is a working class home with two bedrooms but no indoor plumbing where each member of the family must work. Three modern day families each live in one for a week, determined by the status of their own interwar era ancestors. They live through the Roaring Twenties and experience the Great Depression.
