Those are cool houses. I've been a couple of different floor plans. There's a bunch of them in Takoma Park Maryland and a friend lived in one.

And as far as the document prohibitng blacks from living on the property of course it's moot. The practice was wrong and the laws allowing it changed. I mention it only as historic curiosity.

I think it's important for my son to be aware of those old practices. Bringing the document home to show us copies was a great chance to talk about it with my kid. He also knows the stories of my uncle getting arrested for fratinization in Florida in the 1950's.

I figure based on what I see about history curriculum I beetr teach him the history that he may miss in school.
