    The houses in 1922 weren’t anywhere near this large. The Ford Model A didn’t go on sale until 1928, and almost nobody had a car before that milestone. In fact, most garages on houses from this era we’re built decades later than the house.

        Those look like multi-family units from that era. I’m not saying there weren’t a few large houses here and there, but the size you are seeing here was not a common single family dwelling in the US in this period. The suburban era doesn’t really begin until after WW2.

          I think it’s a Sears catalog self-build, which were surprisingly common. I’ve seen some irl, but yeah, there are duplexes that look kinda like that.
