Not in Houses by Mail Pt 2 -- 1918-1940 -- They got names now

There was only half a dozen homes that I've found after 1918 when the houses started getting names. 

First off in 1920 we have the Sears Cinderella

Similar to the 1920's Oakdale bungalow. The exterior is close to the same with a slightly rearranged floor plan.

Secondly 1921 gave us the Sears Harper. This house was a successor to the Sears Harmony that was offered the year before. Only difference is the absence of dormers.

The 3rd house which was just found recently is the 1926 Sears Elmwood which is totally different style house than the earlier Elmwood.

The 4th house from 1929 was the Sears Parkridge. This house has the same floor plan as the Berwyn/Mayfield/Galewood house with a different entry.

The 5th house from 1930 is the Sears Pendleton which is a brick veneer version of the Sears Sheffield

And 1930 also gave us a  Standard Built home with a different name but same floor plan as the non clipped gabled Rodessa.

If you find anymore houses that HBM missed please let me know.

The 1926 Elmwood picture is from Daily Bungalow and the Monticello is from a catalog found by Andrew Mutch. All photos can be found on my Pinterest boards with proper credit.

Not in Houses by Mail Pt 1 - 1908-1917 The numbered years

Sears started selling modern homes in 1908 and offered a few that year that didn't stick around long. The numbers were re-used but a different house offered. The authors of Houses by Mail had access to a large amount of catalogs but not all. Here is a collection of houses starting with the earliest that HBM didn't have access to. 

Let's start with the Sears No 108 from 1908 through 1913. HBM listed some of the dates under the Sears Saratoga but until 1914 it was a different house.

Between the years 1908-1913 it went from having a bump out in the parlor to just a plain square living room.

Next we have the Sears No 120  which showed back up in 1909 through 1917 as a different house.

1909-1917

Next we have the Sears 128 which showed back up in 1911 through 1914. The 1912 reprint has it as the No 241 as does HBM.

Next we have the Sears No 138 which showed back up in 1911 through 1914 although not found in 1912.
