Oi mail order house

You're looking for a mail-order house!

In the past, mail-order houses were a popular way for people to purchase homes without having to physically visit a construction site or showroom. Here's how it typically worked:

  1. Customers would browse through catalogs or brochures featuring various house designs and floor plans.
  2. They would select a design that suited their needs and budget, and place an order with the mail-order house company.
  3. The company would then send a detailed plan and specifications to the customer, including materials and construction costs.
  4. The customer would review and approve the plan, and the company would begin building the house.
  5. The finished house would be shipped to the customer's site, where it would be assembled and completed.

Some popular mail-order house companies in the past include:

  1. Sears, Roebuck and Co. (Sears Modern Homes): Sears sold prefabricated homes through their catalogs from 1908 to 1940.
  2. Aladdin Industries: Aladdin sold prefabricated homes through their catalogs from 1906 to 1981.
  3. Gordon-Van Tine: Gordon-Van Tine sold prefabricated homes through their catalogs from 1914 to 1950.

While mail-order houses are less common today, some companies still offer similar services, such as:

  1. Clayton Homes: Clayton Homes offers a range of manufactured and modular homes that can be ordered online or through a local dealer.
  2. Cavco Industries: Cavco Industries offers a range of manufactured and modular homes that can be ordered online or through a local dealer.
  3. Skyline Homes: Skyline Homes offers a range of manufactured and modular homes that can be ordered online or through a local dealer.

Keep in mind that modern mail-order houses often come with more customization options and higher price points than their predecessors.
