This is our home, do you think it is from this movement, at least? i'd like to repair it, paint it historically accurate colors and such, but i can't find another one like it in the internet. It's the biggest house on the block too, and all the other ones have a covered porch, while ours is open. Thanks.

Yes it is! You are soooooo lucky you don’t have aluminum soffit covering your roof lines. Sherwin Williams as a fantastic line of colors for arts & crafts homes. Looks like they did make the mistake of replacing your wood storms with those ugly good for nothing new one ones, if you lucky the old ones will be stored somewhere, mine were gone so I made my own. Congratulations have fun.
p.s. love the swing......

I don't think they're here, or i would have found them by now, we bought it in Nov last year. Most of the woodwork inside is painted white, except for the living room, i guess because the person who used to own it didn't have time to do so, i found the paint in the basement. Any idea where i could find original plans for it, or another similar one? i found a piece of wood in the basement with a number burned into it (i don't know if that helps) We also discovered a hidden fireplace (or the chimney, actually- for the thing is long gone) made of brick, hidden under sheet rock in the corner of the kitchen and the dining room (they covered the plaster in the kitchen with sheet rock)- I believe it might have been facing the dining area. It goes all the way to the attic, where it was cut so it wouldn't go through the roof (why would anyone do something like that, i don't know)- They made the kitchen bigger, added a room upstairs on top of this addition too. My camera has no batteries, but i'll get some more pictures and post those too.

here's another one

It looks like it could be a house by Sears Roebuck possibly. I have the book Houses by Mail, but right now I don't have any way to scan an image of the house model I'm thinking of.

Sears Carlin Model Kit Home, 1918.

Oh man, it's a perfect Sears Carlin! The Sears Carlin was a diminutive version of the Sears Westly.

That's a cutie pie of a house. You should take extra good care of it and give it a wee kiss from Auntie Rose!
