BEFORE THERE WERE TRACT HOMES THERE WERE "DO IT YOURSELF KITS"

"It fairly breathes happiness," this ad said of a Pacific kit home. (circa: 1919)
This page from a Pacific Homes catalog details all the parts needed to build a house, along with numbers.
Materials were delivered by box car to the local train station.
