Please feel free to email me directly at SearsHouseSeeker@gmail.com, and I'll be happy to help you by taking a good look at your house (and you do not need to get under the sink to see if it is stamped SR... that would only help you know that the sink came from Sears, but we would look at much more than that, to identify the house). Looking forward to hearing from you.<br />JudithSearsHouseSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794563811693538951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849432465886946157.post-68636929674427663122022-11-03T16:43:36.793-05:002022-11-03T16:43:36.793-05:00I am pretty sure I just bought a 1927 Fairy in Iow...I am pretty sure I just bought a 1927 Fairy in Iowa. Mine is the older model with the chimney that ran through the middle of the house. In the 70's the owners changed some of the floor plan and made it a bit different but I can see exactly how they did it now comparing to the original floor plan. Do you by change know the stamp number for The Fairy that would be on the boards? I was also told I need to get under the old cast iron sink and see if there is a SR in the corner. I know for sure the medicine cabinet is from Sears as it still has the old Sears golden sticker and the model number on it. Any info would be great.

I’m not sure if this was done at the time it was built, or as an afterthought.<br />I’m in the St. Louis area, but across the river. I was told that the houses on my street were all “Sears kit” homes built for the workers when the refinery opened up, though it looks like the refinery opened in 1917 and a quick search shows that my house was built in 1935. mamma bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08496392313289754261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849432465886946157.post-19674943963689033922019-01-22T16:22:53.900-06:002019-01-22T16:22:53.900-06:00I have been looking for a long time for this infor...I have been looking for a long time for this information as the last owner said it was sears home.

It was built in 1930 and I believe I know the original owners names however, Maryland records online only goes back to the 70's for the county and I am having trouble finding older information on the property.

Thanks! I can also give you some advice on what to look for to help authenticate the house as a Sears model.<br />JudithSearsHouseSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794563811693538951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849432465886946157.post-9945210355062316162018-12-19T15:26:14.365-06:002018-12-19T15:26:14.365-06:00Hello, I'm buying a house right now and I beli...Hello, I'm buying a house right now and I believe it could be the Fairy model. I am going to do some more digging. DO you know if this model it was possible to have the floor planned flipped? My bathroom and bedrooms are on the right side instead of the left.

I'd love to know if you have authenticating information about the house (blueprints? marked lumber? shipping labels? receipts or correspondence with Sears about the purchase? photos of construction?). If you have this kind of information, please feel free to comment back here -- it will go directly to my email, and won't be posted directly here. <br />By the way, are you the owner, or the agent? :)SearsHouseSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794563811693538951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849432465886946157.post-61646664556482251602015-11-13T16:58:47.738-06:002015-11-13T16:58:47.738-06:00http://neohrex.mlsmatrix.com/matrix/shared/g3gpFqW...http://neohrex.mlsmatrix.com/matrix/shared/g3gpFqWHCs/1035HomesteadAve<br />I have this fairy home for sale in Alliance Ohio!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05044875070469064000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849432465886946157.post-32656094921461715012015-09-20T20:32:57.556-05:002015-09-20T20:32:57.556-05:00Thanks, Cindy!Thanks, Cindy!SearsHouseSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794563811693538951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849432465886946157.post-86645383142462489282015-09-20T19:14:48.669-05:002015-09-20T19:14:48.669-05:00Good information.
