Pictures from kath and her text ( "her" prefab house)

As promised, here are a couple of photos I took today of the exterior of the house. Richard says that his grandfather and great-uncle put it up (with local help) after it came in boxes on two railroad flatcars with a set of instructions in late 1917; it was built by the end of November 1918, so it was just shy of a year in building it. (The interior was totally redone a few years ago, so there is no point in taking photos of that.) Richard wants to say that he heard a price of something like six or seven thousand dollars. At one time I heard that there were no Sears houses west of the Mississippi; obviously that is not so, since we are west of the river.

In the photos, you can see the half-basement quite well.

Enjoy!
