[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Sears Roebuck used to sell a 2 bedroom, kit house for $5,200 back in the early 1950's.
Not sure if it included the building contractors , or was just the kit.
I had a Sears Roebuck house on the corner of my street until it remained for sale for 2 years, and unoccupied .
It was torn down last year , since the taxes didnt go down , even while unoccupied .

If you want to see a kit house that is open to the public, there is one at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda CA. It was assembled by Richard Nixon’s father.

Sears has asserted that it was not one of theirs.

It was just a kit, although they would hook you up with a local contractor. Sears sold kit houses since the beginning of the last century, and many of them in the ‘20s. I lived in one and it was roomy and very well designed. It had four large bedrooms, two stories, a front and back porch, and a basement with a coal bin. Oddly, it had both fittings for gas and electric lights. There were also all these niches in the rooms that were specially sized to fit furniture that Sears sold.
