Part 6/15:
In 1916, Gordon-Van Tine introduced its first turnkey kit homes, where all components were pre-cut and assembled like giant architectural puzzles. Homebuilding that once took weeks could now be completed in days, with parts fitting together effortlessly. Pricing was competitive; a modest three-bedroom bungalow could cost around $1,500, inclusive of all materials and tools, making homeownership more accessible.
