Many of these homes are still a common feature in cities and towns across America.\u003cbr\u003eThe present volume, a meticulous reproduction of a rare Sears, Roebuck catalog of 1926, provides a thorough, accurate record of the company's \"Honor Bilt Modern Homes.\" Over 300 photographs and illustrations, with full descriptions, offer views of 86 different houses and cottages of widely varying sizes and designs. Readers may recognize familiar architectural styles in designs such as the cozy six-room \"Homewood\" bungalow or the elegant \"Lexington,\" a nine-room, green-shuttered colonial. Also shown are several room interiors for each of 14 homes, along with photographs and plans for nine garages and a hunter's cabin. In addition to visual documentation, the catalog provides extensive, detailed construction information, ranging from the grade of exterior siding to the type of wood used for flooring, windows, and trim.\u003cbr\u003eAn invaluable primary source illustrated for anyone engaged in the study, authentication, or restoration of antique homes or furnishings, this period catalog will also be of special value to architectural and social historians, Americana enthusiasts, and general readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sears Roebuck and Co\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 1991-06-01\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e House \u0026amp; Home|Design \u0026amp; Construction|Architecture|Buildings|Residential|Architecture|History|Modern (Late 19th Century to 1945)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Prefabricated houses|United States|Designs and plans|Sears, Roebuck and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.9 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486267098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9780486267098\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52147002671385,"sku":"SP-9780486267098","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9780486267098_spiral.png?v=1774151057","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/small-houses-of-the-twenties-the-sears-roebuck-1926-house-catalog","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
