Quite right-
I was thinking primarily of the late 19th century British empire rather than
the states. Even though India for example had a substantial industrial base
prefabs were sent from abroad, or example a hotel in Dalhousie (Himachal
Pradesh) was sent in kit form from Belgium! Quite possibly Sears or Montgomery
Ward products could also be sent to India; certainly missionary societies
sometimes sent their missionaries complete with the equipment for erecting a
mission!
