I am looking for an illustrated reference source, possibly a reproduction of the original catalogs to purchase as a resource in the restoration of my 1907(?) home that is thought to be a Sears Catalog home. Is anyone aware of in-print books on this topic?
Try asking your local library for a copy of “Houses by mail: a guide to houses from Sears, Roebuck & Co.” by Katherine Cole Stevenson. It was published by Preservation Press in 1986 and has 365 pages, so chances are good it will have your house.
You may want to check out the http://www.arts-crafts.com website. Use their search engine to look up “Sears Bungalow” and it will pull up lots of information for you. They have a list of reference books that can tie you directly to the bookseller. Have fun!
I am looking for a copy or reproduction of a 1900 Russian Catalog or magazine. If anyone has any idea of where to get on, please e-mail me ASAP! We need it for our productiof of Chekhovs The Seagull. Thank you!
I believe I own The Dover #3262 style Sears home. My husband And I are going to look into this further. We own the only home in our community that looks like that. I am having trouble finding more information on that particular style any help would be very appreciated. Thank You.
