Dreamhouse

Hosted by
What could be more American than wanting to build your dreamhouse? Meema Spadola's dad moved the family to Maine, intending to build his, by hand, alone, on the side of a mountain, in one summer. Four years later, the house still wasn't built, the family fell apart, the parents divorced. And David Beers' story of growing up in another kind of utopian dreamhouse, in Southern California during the aerospace boom of the 1960's.
