These are catalogs in my personal collection. This page gets updated frequently as I acquire more catalogs. If you would like a copy that is not watermarked you may email me at searhomes@yahoo.com
I could easily write pages about Sears homes and their history. If you have any questions email me and I will be happy to answer your question!
Here are two very good sources for information about Sears homes: Rebecca Hunter and Rosemary Thornton.
Sears Indexes are available for viewing now!
There are two very helpful and resourceful facebook pages as well. Sears Modern Homes on facebook and Sears Homes Group on facebook

Hi, my sister and their family recently moved in a house in Columbus, Ohio. I think there are Sears houses there. Can you tell me where I can find help or would you know what they are? Thanks.

I would be happy to help you identify your house. Just let me know the address or send me a photo.
I recommend the books of Rosemary Thornton for learning to identify Sears houses and also Houses By Mail.
And, yes, there are a few Sears homes in Columbus. I have id’ed a few for others.

Hi Barb, yes the house at 188 S Westgate is a Sears house. That model is called the Westly. The other house unfortunately is not.

Dear Rachel,
Thank you for your time and generosity in scanning a page for me from one of your many Sears catalogs, that was so nice of you and please know most appreciated! Also, thank you for all the information you have available on your website, and for scanning and generously sharing so much from your catalogs to share on-line, much of which is very difficult to find and immensely helpful for research.
Sincerely,
Stacey

Your research is amazing! The collection of Sears ephemera is unbelievable. Is that all?

Hi Brad,
I saw the real estate listing. No, this is definitely not a kit home.
