Canada entered the post-war period with a huge pent-up need for new housing. One answer to this pressing demand was the 1 ½ storey house. This type of house was simple, easy to build, comfortable and within the financial reach of most Canadians. Between 1945 and 1960, more than 300,000 1 ½ storey houses were built in Canadian communities. 

The 1 1/2 story is still a very popular house and a very good design, take the cape cod for example, it is a 1 1/2 story home.
