I live in a community with a very high number of still-standing sears-roebuck homes. These are all typically square or rectangular in plan, 4 bedroom with a central fireplace/chimney and a hip roof. There's a museum in town that shows you could have your house purchased and "installed" for $495 out of that catalog. A lot of the coal miners would assemble the houses when they weren't in the mines.
Do you know what years these were made? $495 is a bargain!
The catalog page at the museum is identified as 1904.
It's amazing to look through my community and see these old houses that were 600-800 square feet, and $500 or so, and then, to look out my window at my next-door neighbor's house at 10,000 square feet, 26 total rooms (including a 3rd floor "ballroom"), that was finished in 1902. It has the original carriage house (not many people driving cars in 1902) and big covered side entrance near the carriage house. There's a photo at this museum of Al Capone sitting in the dining room at that house. The owner was a prominent banker, supposedly called on by Al Capone to assist in some money laundering.
Iowa's governor Drake (1895-1898) offered Centerville (my town) their choice a public library or a university. Centerville's mayor and city council chose the library. Des Moines is the home of Drake University. Interesting to think how different the town might be now if it had the university ... or how different the university might have been if it had been here.
