[History Hounds] From Aladdin to Sears: America’s Kit Homes with Ron Campbell, Oakland County Economic Development Division of Planning - Local Business Development

Did you buy your house from a catalog? Thousands of Americans did, purchasing from Sears, Montgomery Ward, Aladdin Homes in Bay City, and others. Everything the builder needed—from precut boards to windows, doors, paint, and even nails—arrived ready for assembly. Join us to discover the world of America’s kit homes.
