I can't remember the last time I saw a dining room in a new house, anecdotally.
- brewdad 3y agoThe formal dining room has now become the home office. My grandparents raised 5 kids in a 900 sq foot home. They weren't poor. That was the typical home being built in the working class suburbs of Detroit in the early 1950s. Average new home being built today is twice that size for a smaller household.
