    Synopsis
    For almost 20 years, Sears, Roebuck and Company purveyed the materials for complete prefabricated houses, providing thousands of Americans with attractive and comfortable low-cost dwellings. Many of these homes are still a common feature in cities and towns across America. The present volume, a meticulous reproduction of a rare Sears, Roebuck catalog of 1926, provides a thorough, accurate record of the company's "Honor Bilt Modern Homes." Over 300 photographs and illustrations, with full descriptions, offer views of 86 different houses and cottages of widely varying sizes and designs. Readers may recognize familiar architectural styles in designs such as the cozy six-room "Homewood" bungalow or the elegant "Lexington," a nine-room, green-shuttered colonial. Also shown are several room interiors for each of 14 homes, along with photographs and plans for nine garages and a hunter's cabin. In addition to visual documentation, the catalog provides extensive, detailed construction information, ranging from the grade of exterior siding to the type of wood used for flooring, windows, and trim. An invaluable primary source illustrated for anyone engaged in the study, authentication, or restoration of antique homes or furnishings, this period catalog will also be of special value to architectural and social historians, Americana enthusiasts, and general readers., Excellent reproduction of rare catalog describes 86 different houses and bungalows in over 300 photographs, illustrations, and floor plans. Text provides complete descriptions.

        A wonderful piece of history!

        I loved looking at the drawings of the houses and the floor plans. These homes were NEW two years before my Dad was born! The kitchens were so sparse! Appliances have come a long way!

      • Gift for someone

        It will be a great reference/ resource for someone restoring a home of the same time period. Each page has a picture of the model of a different home. There are floor plans, measurements, and descriptions of the types of lumber and materials that were sold with the kits.

      • LOVE THIS BOOK

        Lots of info. If you have an old home this book can help you bring it back to it's glory days and undo what others ruined by painting over wood trim. The book is in black and white. Color depictions would have been nice.

      • Small houses of the 20’s

        We were curious about some houses in our neighborhood , I purchased the book to make comparisons of some local houses . The details of some of the houses could incorporated into houses we’re working on . A little more observation might reveal some Sears houses in the neighborhood .
