costs, and, in turn, purchase
costs for customers, according to
searsarchives.com. And its “balloon
style framing” did not require
a team of skilled carpenters, but
could be generally built by one. It
came pre-cut and fitted, including
the nails. All of this cut down on
construction time.
The order would be shipped to the
future home’s site with instructions.
The home is one of The Osborn
models, priced for $2,792, already
“cut and fitted” for construction,
according to an advertisement in
a 1922 Sears, Roebuck and Co. catalog.
Dallago said the quality of the
construction is very impressive still
to this day.
Dallago, who once owned a photography
studio in the area, now
enjoys professionally restoring photographs
for customers.
Though she will be sad to leave
her beloved home, she knows a buyer
will have a unique home to enjoy.
“I hope that the next person will
appreciate the history of the house,”
she said.
