When Sears Sold Homes | Living St. Louis
Anne-Marie Berger investigates the history of Sears homes, which are ready-to-assemble houses that were available nearly 100 years ago in the Sears Roebuck catalog. In 1908, these kit homes were offered in 370 styles and ranged in price from $500 to $5,000. Families who selected a Sears home saved 1/3 the price it would cost to buy an already assembled, or 'normal', house.
