The Barrington
A CC Free 1920′s & 30's Sears Roebuck Catalog House
Lot size: 30x20 Price: §73,554 Lot type: Residential Location: Parkside Place, San Sequoia
When I got my hands on Growing Together I had to make a house for my little play through family. I'd been itching to make another one of these kits houses for a while, so off I went searching and found these plans!
More details and download under the cut:
If you don't know, the Sears Roebuck Kit Houses were houses that could order from the Sears Roebuck Catalog. The lumber and fixtures would be delivered to you and you or someone you hired would build it. This might sound like a recipe for disaster, but these houses are still standing today and highly sought after. It's one of my favorite parts of American architectural history.
I wanted to make a 30s inspired house since I got those vibes from this pack, and this plan was available from the late 1920s to the mid 1930s. I immediately fell in love with the ridiculously pointy front part (which houses a closet on the second floor).
It took me a minute but I'm now a huge fan of a lot of the build buy in this pack, the kitchen appliances are darling, and as a shingle lover, having this siding is a dream come true.
The house is furnished for the 1930s with a living room, dining room, kitchen, creepy basement with coal boiler, master bedroom, nursery, children's room, and a bathroom/laundry room.
The build is fully playtested, the chimneys do make it a bit smokey when the fireplace is lit, so if that bothers you, just replace with a wall and brick siding in place. I like the way it looks and couldn't bear to part with them. As always make sure move objects is on when placing.
I hope you guys really enjoy this build, because it might be my favorite that I've made yet. If you use it and post pictures please tag me, I'll always reblog your photos, I love seeing them!

Total driveway transformation for this historic Sears home (the Rembrandt, I believe)! After & before photos show the final driveway and new retaining wall where we solved for drainage (rain water management), space in a confined area, and aesthetics that look like they've been part of this landscape for the life of this home. Note... As seen in the photos, the old driveway was a nightmare!!!

Day #272/366: Not long into the renovation planning, we found an image of the Sears Catalog page with our original house built in 1928. We got it framed as a reminder of where this craziness began! #cookrenovation #alldone #searskithouse
