A Kit House is a house sold as a kit of pre-cut lumber and prefabricated components. They were offered by several companies nationwide, most notably Sears Roebuck. Between 1908 and 1940, Sears, Roebuck and Company sold more than 70,000 kit homes through their mail-order Modern Homes program. Saranac Lake houses known or thought to be kit houses are included in the table below. See also "Little boxes," by Amy Catania, in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise on October 1. 2020.
