I know this is somewhat sensationalized, but some items for context:
* The dollar, when compared to gold (which it was originally tied to) has lost 97% of it's value since 1920, rather than the 88% that jews admit to. **This means that this house package is valued at roughly 145,500,** not 77k.
* It was a very common drive amongst men to build your own house. Once this was done, you would find a wife. This changed largely with WWII.
* **This house was a kit - it didn't come fully finished.** You built it yourself. Homes in the 1920s didn't have standardized plumbing or electrical, and HVAC wasn't invented, so the kit didn't include these either.
These are remnants of a manlier era, where men literally built their homesteads. If your business idea is modern home kits, I think you could absolutely be onto something, as the tinyhouse builders are starting to completely lose the plot with 'luxury' tinyhouses at prices that remove them from 'starter house' territory. If you can put together a real home kit with modern amenities (e.g. HVAC, plumbing) and come anywhere near to the tinyhome prices, you will have a real winner.

That house does come with a heating system (boiler, pluming, radiators) full plumping, toilets, sinks, etc. and full wiring. The only thing it didn’t include is masonry stone, hammer, and nails. It also can will full moulding, trim, casing, beautiful stairs, banisters etc. all made of real beautiful hardwoods. Even at $145,000 (their nicest house) it’s an incredible deal if you factor in that almost no taxes existed. Most two story homes though in that book are around $1,500-$2,000 which is even better. The cheapest home is $650 still comes with two bedrooms, a bathroom, separate kitchen, dining, and living room area. With beautiful finishes. A Ford model T at the time, one considered “the people’s car” because of its affordability, cost $290 for comparison.

Everything you mentioned is an optional extra, not included. In your book, the pricing sheet for these extras is on page 131. In my book, it is on page 138.
I agree with the rest, and pardon me if I am being pedantic.
