OHU50K NOTES

1930s: Imagine searching through the pages of a Sears House catalog night after night, deliberating over the perfect kit house you wanted to order for your family. The “Collingwood” was ordered in 1934 by one such family, the materials arrived on the lot, and the house was completed by 1936. With a cost between $1,329 and $1,960 before labor, how could they go wrong?
