This is a picture of a home in Iowa that was built in 1918 (I think), and which seems to be a kit house. Does anyone recognize the model? It looks a lot like an Aladdin Wilmont, but a few things don't fit. (The structure extending to the right in the picture of the facade is a later addition, obviously.) Thanks for your help.

If your in Iowa more than likely it would be a plan book or pre-cut home from Gordon VanTine, a Davenport Iowa lumber company that operated 1908 to 1946. Plan book houses don't have marked lumber but you might find a shipping label that mentions gvt or Davenport. Pre-cut houses have grease pencil or ink stamp marks on the lumber. I'll look through my GVt catalogs and see if I can find a match.
