This information is exactly what I have been looking for. I am a daughter of a disabled wheelchair bound vet. My mom and dad built the house I grew up in 1957 in Chicago. I am a journalist and am writing on the subject of the wider hallways, the lower cabinets. We had a tub in the bathroom and daddy would lift himself from the chair into the tub. Although things are different, they are still the same, building homes for those who have served. Both my parents died and my step mother let the house go back to the bank....but I have fond memories of that house and am thankful that daddy was given every opportunity to do for himself. Good luck to this family. God Bless.
