No trailer, it's a 1940's " War Time" house. They were built by the
tens of thousands, very few are over 1000 sq ft.

 I know. They were built for temporary housing only.

Yup, right after the boys came back from the war and they needed
temporary, quick housing. Called "war time housing". No basements and
to be moved out of as soon as they got on their feet. Wouldn't even
pass code a few years later.

That's certainly not the story in my neck of the woods, all of them have
block basements and quite a
few in my area are still owned by their original owners. Most of whom
raised families with three or four
kids, adding additions when needed. I don't know what building code they
wouldn't pass even by the 1970's
except for size, and the size of service panel. Ours is the same stick
frame 2x4 construction on block
foundations I was framing in the early 1970's, but it also has what you
paid extra for by then, full 3/4 hardwood
flooring, full panel solid doors and trim that isn't made of sawdust
and glue. To me temporary housing is a trailer,
not a 63 year old brick house.
