Did you know that pre-fab construction dates back<\/a> as far as the pilgrims, who shipped a disassembled house from England to Cape Ann, Mass., so that the new settlers would have a well-constructed place to stay? Thanksgiving might have taken place in a pre-fab house that was assembled onsite. Today, the unhappy hipsters<\/a> in Dwell magazine are roasting their tofurkies and drinking craft beer in something a bit more technologically advanced, but they might be closer to their predecessors in New England then they think.<\/p>\n

For an update on what is happening in pre-fab construction these days, here are some of our favorite examples from the Architizer database.<\/p>\n
