Yes, I lived in one in CT. I swear the house down the street from us now in PA is a Sears home too, based on its look.

I'm not sure, but from what I recall of the *craftsman* style of it, my grandmother's house was a *sears* model too.

It stood on about a 5 acre plot, where Welty Hall stands at CCSU. It was a wonderful self-sustaining farmlette, with a crystal clear stream running through it

. Don't get me started about how the state came in and *condemned* all the properties on Wells St [eminent domain]; and none of those people had the means to fight the state. Everyone was uprooted. And both my grands were dead within 2 years of being forced from their place; they couldn't take the change to their peaceful lives, being in their late 80s.

Anyway, I still have the 2X3 stained glass window, that was on the stair landing of that house. My dad salvaged it, B4 they bulldozed the house down. Seeing it breaks my heart. It represents the end of an era of America to me. E.G.:
