        That 10-room home would be $80,646 adjusted for today's inflation. Adjusted for today's #inequality about $800,646 unless you live in CA where it would be $8,000,646.https://twitter.com/BeschlossDC/status/938925198832734208 …

        @BeschlossDC What a great tweet. Saw a segment on CBS Sunday Morning touring all the Sears & Roebuck homes in the Chicago area. Fascinating

        We are currently living in an 'Argyle' style Sears home in Cheverly, MD. Almost 100 years old and still standing strong! Beams in our basement are numbered; for easier construction on site. We love our cozy little cottage.

        I live in a 16 American 4 Square farm house in rural Iowa. It was built in 1915 and cost $750. A barn was built by the same people the next year and cost $1250. Both are still in amazing condition.
