Covers of The American Home magazine in the 1930s

The American Home was a continuation of the magazine Garden & Home Builder. It was published by Nelson Doubleday of Doubleday, Doran & Company. The American Home lost money its first four years, and occasionally entire issues were omitted. By 1953, The American Home had a paid circulation of over 3 million, and reached a peak circulation of 3.7 million in 1962.

After several years of losses, and in an era that saw the closure of the mass circulation magazines Life, Look, and The Saturday Evening Post, the last issue of American Home, with a cover date of February 1978, was published in late 1977. It was then merged with the Charter magazine Redbook.
