    Does this book have the drawings of the Sears homes? We have a Craftsman and would like to find it in the original drawings with the floorplan and name, etc. You don’t have any info about what is in the book. Thanks.

    Rose,
    I have about a half dozen questions I would like to ask you about my foursquare in upstate NY. How can I email you photos? This house is pretty much original and it was the film location for Adrian Grenier’s second film titled The Adventures of Sebastien Cole.

    I could not find any images of The Homewood. I currently live in a Homewood in Baltimore City, MD. There are tons of Sears homes in what used to be considered the suburbs, before the city boundary was expanded. Is this style home not as common as it is here? Just curious. P.S. I love the images on this website.

    Please send me a photo of your Homewood. :)

    Hello, I think I grew up in a Homart beach cabin. It’s gone now, but I think I know where one still is in Florida.

    Ours was in Gulf Shores, Alabama. And there were several in Orange Beach, Alabama.

    My mother is selling her house ( and I don’t want her to) and we were told years ago that her house is one of the original Sears homes. I will have to go up into the attic to see if there are any marks, I never paid attention. I wish I had seen a pic on here that looks like her house. Is there anywhere online that might have pics of all the homes?

    Hello Rosemary:

    I am an engineer in Staunton and I have a lot of people tell me that there homes are Sears Kit Homes. I have photos and address of these projects I have worked on. Do you have an email address I can forward them to for you to verify and also keep for your records?

    I have a couple I would like to send now.

    Thanks,

    -Jim
