This is a link to the "Modern Homes" section of the 1914 Sears, Roebuck catalog, showing more than 100 different styles of kit houses that could be purchased and delivered to a site of the customer's choosing. Click on the link and page through the section. What's astonishing is how utterly familiar many of these house styles are to anyone who has spent time in any part of small town or rural America.

As a point of comparison, adjusting for inflation, $825 in 1914 would equal about $25,500 in 2026 dollars.
