Sears Roebuck Ready-Cut Barns: Just Add Critters
Yes, Sears sold barns as well as houses. These barns came in “kits” filled with pre-cut lumber, nails, roofing, doors and everything that you needed. Here’s a barn in central Illinois. The photo was taken in 2010, but it could have been shot in the 1930s. This is one of my favorite pictures.
Just out of frame is a Sears Gladstone, a fine little Sears house!

Nice barn on beautiful farm
Cool barn photo and I love the book. I’m passionate about old barns, too.
See my website, http://www.ernestjschweit.blogspot.com for some pixs. And http://www.farcountrypress.com for a look at my book, “Wisconsin Barns.”
Happy barning!
