Between 1908 and 1940, Sears sold more than 70,000 “Modern Home” kits by mail. Families could order from a catalog of 370 designs, and a train would deliver about 30,000 pre-cut parts with step-by-step instructions. With a small crew, a home could be built in just 60–90 days. Many of these houses still stand today, a living testament to one of the most unique housing experiments in American history. | Artifact Archives
