Sears used to sell complete HOUSE kits, delivered on site and built locally. Then they could sell you everything you needed to go inside that house.



Yeah, remember Richard Nixon's childhood house? His parents bought the house kit from Sears. Now its a national landmark.

I grew up just around the corner (within kid bicycling distance), in Placentia. That house used to be a dump, and it was always (locally) thought to be a Sears house, but evidently it wasn't.

This one was falling apart due to age and neglect, before the curators got a hold of it.
