*I plan to upload a more complete version which includes the internal wall as depicted in the magazine listing if this model gains a good traction.

 

Overview:

Sears, Roebuck and Company, commonly known as Sears, were prominent American retail company that operated department stores and catalogs for many years. It was known for offering a wide range of products, including appliances, tools, clothing, and home goods.

During its peak years, Sears did offer various home-related products and services, such as home appliances, furniture, and even house kits. Sears sold prefabricated houses through its catalog in the early 20th century. The home kits were designed to allow customers to build their own homes using pre-cut materials and instructions provided by Sears. These kits included all the necessary materials, including lumber, windows, doors, and other components, to construct a complete house.

 

The Sears house kits were quite popular and provided an affordable option for many people to own their own homes. Several different house styles were available, ranging from small cottages to larger, more elaborate designs. Customers can choose the design they like and then order the corresponding kit from Sears. The kits would then be delivered to their location, and they could proceed with the construction process.

 

Notes on Assembly :

 

  1. LXTGN-WALLS

i originally designed this model without the AMS in mind and wanted to reduce the amount of supports required hence the “sun room” and “dining room” wing of the house has additional wall supports i modeled in. simply tear the wall supports upon print completion. I'd suggest printing the house in PLA and the support interface in PETG or vice versa, as it made support removal very convenient.
