kit homes
Shipped house parts
Kit homes are prefabricated houses sold as packages of materials—lumber, hardware, and plans—for assembly on site.
Popular in the early twentieth century through catalog companies like Sears, they offered affordable homeownership for buyers willing to do construction themselves or hire local labor: They built a kit home on the property in 1923.
