I remember when this was just built because we passed it when we went to my grandparent's house for Sunday dinners. My dad always told me that the house was purchased from a Sears and Roebuck catalog and it was delivered by mail to this location. I don't know when, but Sears and Roebuck stopped delivering houses by mail order. The entire house (now shown with later additions) was sold for less than a thousand dollars.

The house is still there where it was when my dad and mom and I went to grandpa Ballengee's house for macaroni and cheese dinners on Sundays. Grandpa lived on Pleasant Plain Road. Every Sunday my dad would remind me that those people got that house from Sears and Roebuck. The catalog company sold entire houses back in their heyday.
