Where it came from
The Gordon-Van Tine Company, based in Davenport, Iowa, was a prominent participant in the American mail-order home industry during the early 20th century. This 1931 catalog represents the company's efforts to sustain business during the Great Depression by offering affordable, ready-cut housing kits. These kits provided homeowners with all necessary lumber, millwork, and hardware, which were shipped via rail to be assembled on-site according to the detailed architectural plans included in the publication.
The designs within these catalogs were characterized by a blend of popular architectural styles, such as the Craftsman bungalow and the Colonial Revival. By simplifying construction through standardized, pre-cut pieces, the company targeted middle-class families seeking quality housing at a lower cost than traditional building methods allowed. While the designs were utilitarian, they were well-received for their accessibility and durability, establishing a lasting legacy in the landscape of residential construction across North America.
