 Say Thanks!
Sears Homes is my new series of homes that were designed by Sears, Roebuck and Co. From 1908 to 1940, Sears, Roebuck and Co. issued catalogues with house designs in them. Customers would choose a home and mail their request to the company. The company would then send all the supplies ordered (pre-cut lumber, lighting, doors, etc.) and the customer would build their own home! Now as I've said before I love more simple, classic homes and these are exactly that so you can imagine my excitement upon finding these lots. I was so excited in fact, I ordered three books filled with these homes so be prepared for a lot of homes in this series!

The first in the series is The Americus first published in 1921! The following is an excerpt from a catalogue describing the house:

Here is a fine home that any American (or anyone! ;P) can be proud of and be comfortable in. It is a dignified, substantial house that will stand out among it's neighbours and never "go out of style." The rooms are all good sized and well lighted and ventilated. Lots of big closets just where needed and a kitchen that will save a great many steps.



This house has:
- 3 bedrooms and 1,5 baths

- partially furnished (all plumbing, lighting, some electronics, and counters)


All kinds of comments are welcome.
