Description

Welcome to our community for kit-home fans and kit-home owners in the Beckley area. Homes by Sears, Roebuck, and Co. and other kit-home builders are being rediscovered as an important part of the history of the City of Beckley and of Raleigh County.

Join us as we explore this fascinating aspect of Beckley's heritage and document the advent of kit homes in the Greater Beckley area. Feel free to share your knowledge and ask questions pertaining to the identification and preservation of Sears Modern Homes and other kit construction residences in Beckley, West Virginia, and throughout the U.S.
