The Lost Era When You Could Order a Home Like a Piece of Furniture
There was a time in America when owning a home didn't mean years of saving and months of waiting on a contractor. You opened a catalog, found the house you wanted, placed your order, and waited for the train to pull in. In this episode, we go back to one of the most remarkable ideas this country ever had — a time when ordinary working families built their own homes with their own hands, with a little help from their neighbors and a very detailed instruction manual. Some of those houses are still standing today. And the people living in them have no idea what they're sitting inside. If you've ever driven through an older neighborhood and wondered about the house on the corner with the wide front porch and the brick chimney — this one is for you. 🕰 New episodes every week 📍 One story.
