Buy a home in Vienna, VA for $14,750 back in 1957. What an amazing old advertisement from the Washington Post classifieds.

Here’s a great old advertisement that reminds me of Kevin Arnold and the Wonder Years. I found this in The Washington Post from 1957. Urban centers were in the middle of emptying out as people headed to the suburbs for a home with a white picket fence.
