The McMansion Scale, Explained
I was recently struck by this house, offered by Sears in 1921:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;oklahomahousesbymail.files.wordpress.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;10&#x2F;sears-saratoga-1921.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;oklahomahousesbymail.files.wordpress.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;10&#x2F;sea...</a><p>What&#x27;s crazy is the price: $47,085.20 in todays dollars.  This is with all finishing materials (including stained glass) &amp; delivered (no cement or bricks).<p>It&#x27;s an amazing house, and any old schlub could order it from good ol&#x27; Sears.<p>Something very bad happened in architecture around world war 2.
