>I own a Sears Honor Bilt Home, circa 1910. I have been searching for
blue prints for this house (Maytown #167, I think) Would you know where
I might find blueprints or at least basic exterior drawings with
demensions? I have already called Sears Archives. The best I could do
so far are the floor plans.
My comment on Sears houses is that my grandfather took a picture out of the
Sears catalog and built a house based on the picture. I never saw any
blueprints, I think he had them in his head. The situation was that he had to
build a house before my grandmother's father would let them get married. He
worked for two years, built a garage on a lakeside lot that had been given to
him for payment for other work, which he then sold, and bought another lot of
lesser value on the side of a hilll, and then proceeded to build a house. They
lived in this house until he retired. The house stills stands on East State
Street in Ithaca, NY. Possibly this comprises an ancestral penchant for
copyright infringement and I can blame my current transgressions on my
grandfather, from whom I gained many other independent traits.
