Homes in a Box: Modern Homes from Sears Roebuck (Schiffer Design Book)

Description:

A facsimile reproduction of the Sears Modern Homes catalog.

Homes in a Box gives a nostalgic look at the more than one hundred home kits sold by Sears Roebuck in the early 1900s. These homes were offered either as simple kits with only the blueprints and bill-of-materials or as complete homes with all materials and finishes.

The architectural styles ranged from simple bungalows to beautiful homes with a strong Frank Lloyd Wright influence. Much of this Wright influence can be traced to the proliferation of Wright homes in the Chicago area, Sears home base. Thousands of these homes are still standing and still providing shelter to families across the country. Many of them are unaware of the source of their home's design.

This book will help them trace their architectural heritage. It will also be an invaluable tool to those looking to trace the architectural history of the American home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sears Roebuck 1912

J. · September 25, 2017

I have two books from different publisher and both are reprints of the old Sears Roebuck catalogs. I don't mind. The other one is 1913's catalog and is on glossy paper. This one is on flat paper and it strains the eyes less. I'm keeping both of them because they're awesome.

4.0 out of 5 stars Apparently a reprint of an old Sears Catalogue...

If you're going to buy *all* the books out there on Sears Homes, you'll certainly want this one in your collection. It's a reprint of the 1912 Sears Modern Homes catalog.And it has some designs of homes I'd not seen elsewhere and that makes it a valuable resource. But once again, it is JUST a reprint - not a contemporary book explaining the history and ongoing rehab of (now) historic Sears Catalogue Homes.That being said, I have two copies and frequently recommend this book at my lectures.Roseauthor, The Houses That Sears Built

Just what we were looking for. Would buy again. We bought the book as it had the house plan in it that is the house we live in. A new "old looking" craftsman style.

Disappointing. Those who republished this book provide it with no introduction, and they omit even the year that it was originally published; leaving the reader ignorant of the vintage of these particular Sears homes.
