Sears Maytown model house in Shenandoah history
The 1908 Sears kit house at Seventh Street and Maryland Avenue once sold for 999 dollars and arrived as pre-cut parts with a full blueprint. The Alfieri family preserved the home, which now has updates like central air, a larger kitchen, and new siding, while remaining a noted Sears catalog residence.
