That had little to do with building codes. In most states, until the adoption of several "national codes" very few building codes applied to single family residences other than fire exit requirements.

I have been avoiding adding to the clutter, but I can no longer resist. As a young architect in Pittsburgh in the '60s, I was often at odds with contractors and suppliers who wanted to provide skim co
