Here is a beautiful example of a Sears Matoka model in Wyoming, Ohio. This model originally appeared as Modern Home No. 168 in the Sears Modern Home catalog of 1911 and was later named the Matoka. It was described as being “pleasing but not extreme.” The original catalog offering gave customers the option of finishing the 2nd floor or not. If finished there would be an additional 2 bedrooms, making this a very spacious 4 bedroom home. According to the Hamilton County Auditor’s webpage, this particular home was built in 1927 and has 7 rooms including 4 finished bedrooms.
