Did they have electricity and indoor plumbing?What were the rooms like?Was the house kept tidy?What kind of cleaning equipment was used?Did they have vacuum cleaners, bleach and air freshener?
I am a Catholic but will not Call our Blessed Mother Mother of God because it is miss leading. The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus was/is both God and man in one person that can not be separated. The Holy Spirit spoke through Elizabeth and she called Mary, The Mother of my Lord, (who is Jesus, but Mary is not the Mother of God because Mary is a created creature and not divine. To say that mary is the Mother of God implies to most people that Mary is Divine which she is not. However, Mary is not an ordinary Jewish womanas one person answered. Mary was the one female in all of History; picked by God out of all women alive before Mary and all women born after Mary to be the Natural Mother of His Son Jesus. I can not see how anyone would have the audacity to call Mary the Mother of Jesus, Just an ordinary girl. Also, if my right arm could talk it could accurately say that it is body but it could not say that it is the Body; likewise,Jesus is God but He is not The God Only One can say that He is the God and He is spelled in the Hebrew as YHVH Jesus called YHVH, my Father.
To sum in up: the houses were built to last,smaller rooms. The only problem I have seen is lead was used in all the paint along with the water lines coming into the home. Electricity now-a days are a vast improvement compared to back then.More outlets per room have to placed 18 inches above the floor,back then you would find outlets in the floor.
Most homes from the 50's were pretty modest. The average one is probably about 900 square feet. They did have electricity. Rooms were smaller than today standards, Houses were kept very tidy, they had bleach and vacuum cleaners.
