My friend lives in a Sears home, I think from 1922. Beautiful wood interior, lovely design. Surprising for a "mail order" home. I see it and think of how much crap we build nowadays.
$4317.00. For a house. Only one bathroom, which could be a problem with more than one female living there, but even so...
All you needed to do was put it together. Put Tab A into Slot B 10,000 times and you had a house!
