    Ran across an article in a January 1946 Popular Mechanics. Post-war, there was a scramble to provide houses for booming market. The Gunnison House ranged from 28x24 - 4 rooms to
    56x24 - 7 rooms. Price? $3500 to $9000.

    If your foundation was ready, the home could be erected in one day. It could be finished in one week.

    A bit more on them...

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        You can find a handful of those in the older DC suburban areas, too. Bet you 10 bucks most of my grandmother's neighbors live in those or similar.

        Please love yourself.

          I take it they weren't "open concept," eh?
