Sears Modern Homes, 1913 (Dover Architecture)

Makes a nice coffee table book. Information on the iconic Sears Roebuck houses is quite interesting. You can see how home design has evolved over time.

I live in a 1914 Sears house, one of four on our block. I have a bunch of Sears House books and I love to look at them. Sears houses are a part of US history and hopefully there are lots of years left before they all disappear.

Found a house that was built in my town but was sadly destroyed to build a parking lot. But a great book

This is a fun book to thumb through! its amazing how many homes you will recognize from your community! There are a lot of Sears homes where you live. The floor plans are interesting and can give good ideas for a new home if you want to go retro and cozy. The descriptions of each design are cute to read and they list communities where the homes have been sold! you may see the name of your town there. I highly recement this book to anyone interested in nostalgia of how things were, or fans of classic architecture!

Interesting book

Enjoyed looking at and reading about all the Sears homes as they were described in the original Sears catalog. Many classic designs that would look good if built today.

I really enjoy looking at these old books and looking around at the houses in certain areas to see these styles. I especially love living in houses from the early 1900’s. Except the closet spaces ;) A great book to have if you enjoy strolling through past housing.

Book is a gift, so I didn't unwrap its plastic wrapping to look it over. The recipient will tell mne if it's not ok.

Sehr cooles Buch! Abzug des originalen Katalogs von 1913.

I enjoy looking at vintage house plans because of how they were designed for the time. I also like to challenge myself as I’m looking at them to see how they could be modernized while trying to maintain the original logistics (plumbing, electrical etc.)

perfect in every ways

Great collection of drawings, elevations, and floor plans of the original "factory-built" style of house. I have been searching for the model that I believe my house to have been (built in 1909) but haven't found it yet - a few close calls. It is great fun to look at the plans and see how people lived in the early 1900s and how inexpensively (in our 2016 dollars) a house that included lovely wood trim and exterior detailing could be built. It is sad that these house kits are no longer available.
