1920's houses were built before insulation was a serious thought. Air conditioning didn't come along for another 40 years for most homes.
The lesson here is that insulation is a real requirement to make cooling units work better without having huge electric bills from huge air conditioners. Another lesson is that square feet of floor space has little to do with air conditioner size and square feet of walls, windows, and ceilings with insulation has a lot more to do with it.
You now have the choice of continuing to spend large electric bills with a larger air conditioner to cool your home, or to spend a little on a lot more insulation to help your limited-size air conditioner do enough cooling.
