Radersburg, Montana pictures on MontanaPictures.Net  (Page three of twelve)

Picture of a home in Radersburg, Montana.
    11407  Take a good look at the "truncated pyramid" roof of this log cabin.  You see hundreds of similar roofs across Montana.
      During the decades of 1900-1940 people could order a "kit" home from the "Sears & Roebuck Catalog."
      The ready-to-assemble "kit" houses came with all of the pre-cut lumber and hardware.
                  "Between 1908-1940, more than 75,000 Sears homes were built.  Sears "kit" homes
                  contained 30,000 pieces, including 750 pounds of nails, 27 gallons of paint and a 75-page
                  instruction book.  Sears estimated that the average carpenter would charge $450
                  to assemble those 30,000 pieces of house. The painter's fee: $34.50. Sears estimated
                  that other skilled labor would cost $1 an hour.  Prices for these build-it-yourself "kit"
                  houses ranged from $600 to $6000."
