HO scale bungalow painted in 1920s colors

You can find small bungalows like this one close to the tracks all over North America. This particular house was a "kit" house, delivered by a box car. Such kit houses were common in the 1910s and 1920s and are often called "Sears" houses. However, there were many companies selling kit houses and Sears was just one such company.

This particular house was designed by the Gordon Van-Tine Company, of Davenport, Iowa.
