Here’s an example of a Sears Vallonia model in Madisonville, Ohio. Billed as a “real prize bungalow,” the Vallonia was one of, if not THE, most popular kit home models offered by Sears. It was available from 1921 until 1940 and consisted of 4 bedrooms, (2 down and 2 up) plus an upstairs sewing room, 1 bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. We have lots of these old Vallonia treasures here in the Cincinnati area. Click here to see the original Sears catalog offering of this delightful bungalow.
The Croatan Cottage in Manteo, North Carolina is a beautiful example of a Sears Vallonia restored to its former glory. Click here to see a fun blog (with photos) about this beautiful home.
The photos below highlight some of the original Sears Kit Home features in this Cincinnati Vallonia which has been converted into office quarters.
