| I don’t think you’ll know the answer, but I live north of Boston in a brick late Victorian house. It was built from 1896 to 1899. According to my parents, a real estate agent said it was from a pattern book, and I want to know if it was or not. I will upload a photo when I figure out how, but for now, here’s a description.
Exterior Details: • Brick, kind of plain for a Victorian

| My research indicates that Sears didn't sell kit houses at the time yours was built. It still could have come from a catalog; more likely, the builder may have used house plans developed by somebody else. Just like today, lots of companies sold house plans and lots of builders copied them. |
