The Sears Maggy in Canton, Ohio: Looking Better Than Ever!
In 2002, I was invited to participate in filming one of the first episodes of History Detectives (PBS). In 2002, I traveled to Ohio for the show, and on the first day of filming, we visited this Sears Magnolia in Canton. I took several photos while we were there, and more recently, I scanned the old 35mm slides and posted them here.
More recently, my dear friend Janet Hess LaMonica traveled to Canton (her hometown) and managed to get some wonderful new photos for me!
I’m happy to say, the Maggy in Canton is looking absolutely beautiful!

Is the house featured in “The Notebook” a Sears Magnolia? Absolooterly NOT. Read about that here.

This Sears Magnolia was Sears grandest and most spacious kit homes. There are Sears Magnolias in Benson, NC, Irwin, PA, South Bend, IN, Piedmont, AL and Syracuse, NY. There was a Magnolia in Nebraska but it burned down years ago. (Photo is copyright 2012 Janet Hess LaMonica and can not be used or reproduced without written permission.)

I regret not getting the third floor in the picture!
What a stunning home! Thank you, Janet for getting these current pictures for Rose to share with all of us.
I just bought a house a block away from this wonderful home! I walk by it everyday, it’s so pretty!
