I grew up in an old farmhouse in Folsom and we didn’t have AC. You have to remember that houses were designed to not have AC back then. Built in the shade, facing certain directions for air flow etc.
However, We did have an attic fan we used at night to pull in cooler air.

That GE room cooler that was 950 in 1930 would cost nearly $20,000 today. Ouch.
