Beautiful Christiansburg, Virginia - With Sears Homes
In 2008, Dale and I traveled around Roanoke, Bedford, Lynchburg and Christiansburg looking for kit homes. We only found a handful when we went to Christiansburg, but we found them all in less than 20 minutes.
Last weekend, Hubby Dear and I returned to Christiansburg, and this time, I drove the entire city and didn’t find any more than Dale and I found in 2008!

The Princeville, from the 1919 catalog.
*
It's tough to get good pictures in hilly areas, but here's the Princeville in Christiansburg. This was a fairly rare model for Sears, but easy to spot!
*
Number 306, as seen in the 1916 catalog.
*
Christiansburgs' very own Sears Modern Home #306.

Again, due to those hills, it's hard to get a good shot, but here's a view of the top of that oval window.

The Glen Falls from the 1928 catalog.
*
Is this a Glen Falls? The owner does not think so, but I suspect that it might be.
*
The Sears Matoka was a popular house (1919 catalog).
*
I had to snap this photo from the wrong side (due to landscaping obstructions), but it’s definitely a Matoka!

The Sears Walton (1921)
*
Headed home, we passed through Roanoke and I had to dash into this neighborhood when I heard the Sears Homes calling me. And there, I found this little Walton!
*
The Sears Westly in 1916.
*
This Westly is in the same neighborhood as the Walton above - in Roanoke!
