From 1908 to 1942, Sears Roebuck and Company sold about 65,000 ready-to-build kit homes through catalogs. In this presentation—accompanied by a beautiful slideshow of Sears Homes in La Grange and neighboring communities—you will learn about the history of Sears houses, what a Sears house is (and isn’t), how to authenticate one, and common misconceptions about these houses. Presented by Lara Solonicke. Part of our Historic Homes series.
