Classic Brick Home for Sale in Missouri

Description

In the heart of Memphis, MO, stands a stately brick home with wrap-around porch built in 1914. Previous owners have been told this was a Sears & Roebuck kit home. The Sears Modern Home catalog began in 1908 and helped build American neighborhoods as we know them today. Sears kit homes were an easy way for members of the middle class to realize their dreams of homeownership. Once purchased by catalog, the building materials were shipped in railroad cars and fully erected in as little as 90 days. https://thecraftsmanblog.com/the-history-of-sears-kit-homes/
