100 year old man retirers

Never a sick day in his life!
quotelllll
"I started doing janitorial work -- 41 cents an hour," he said. "At that time, I paid $17 rent on a six- or seven-room house. Gasoline was 10 gallons per dollar."
end quote..........
That was 1924...How much would that be today? How much would his 7 room house be?
