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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486267098\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.10h x 9.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Sears Roebuck and Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637702520988,"sku":"9780486267098","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_18fbcc2a-d285-4ef8-a00c-7e933c6ccb62.jpg?v=1603845472","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/small-houses-of-the-twenties-the-sears-roebuck-1926-house-catalog-9780486267098","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
