Notes:This 5000 word book chapter should be regarded as a companion piece to Penner’s essay, "Land of Love: Romance Tourism in North America", as it focuses on the nascent honeymoon industry in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania between 1945 and 1965. Unlike later honeymoon suites where the emphasis was on creating sexy environments, these earlier versions deliberately replicated suburban housing. They were mini-Levittowns with detached cottages with driveways, picture windows, porches, sitting rooms, fireplaces, and the latest technologies gadgets. As such, they were positioned as ideal places for the newlywed pair to practice being married, housekeeping, and entertaining. In the specific context of Negotiating Domesticity, however, the chapter argued that domesticity and gender roles are not only produced and reproduced within the home, but also within other architectural sites, even those like hotels which are more commonly considered to lie in the 'public' realm.
