Mail-Order HOMes in OakwOOd 8 THE OAKWOOD REGISTER January 9, 2019 Once popular ‘ready cut’ kit homes sold by Sears Roebuck still line local streets Sears department stores may be little more than a fast-fading mem- ory in the Miami Valley, but the once great mail-order company – often characterized to later gener- ations as “the Amazon of its day” – has left an indelible footprint in neighborhoods across Dayton and its suburbs, including Oakwood. Once the best-known pur- veyor of mail-order kit homes, Sears Roebuck and Company houses still dot streetscapes from Florida to Illinois and New York to California. Nationally, Sears homeowners have established preservation groups and online communities in an effort to iden- tify as-yet undiscovered examples of kit home architecture. Marketed in three grades as “Honor Bilt Ready-Cut” premium homes, “Standard Built” and “Simplex Sectional” cottages, sheds and garages, Sears maintained an exhibit office featuring its mail-order homes in the Columbia Building at 49 East Second Street in Dayton – one of more than a dozen such centers across the country selling kit homes to an aspiring, expanding middle class during the stock A 1922 Sears Modern Homes catalog of mail-order homes.
