Yes, Sears sold houses. Some people want them considered for historical sites and many are still lived in. Thay had different styles to choose from, such as Cape Cod, New England Cottage, etc. They are scattered over the states. I can't remember the article I read about them in but it stated that many were in disrepair, but they had become very popular again. They are now sought after, fixed up, and enjoy a new life with residences.
