 Date: 10/27/24 15:15 Re: More color on the Coast Line, with Then and Nows Author: thebluecomet Cliffwood Avenue crossing, Aberdeen NJ. PRR image borrowed from a book. Circa 1956.
The old Sears Catalog house is still there. Going away shot with a wide angle deepens the sky colors.

Not to be confused by the "Surf Line" which is the former Santa Fe from Los Angeles to San Diego. I really enjoyed the before and after sets, thanks for sharing.

dumping about 20 inches of snow and five-foot drifts. The most impressive item in these pictures is the tree growth from "Then" to "Now." Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/27/24 22:14 by CPMorris.

Houses were in Sears catalogs? Until when? Are lots more known to still exist? Date: 10/28/24 12:53 Re: More color on the Coast Line, with Then and Nows Author: joemagruder A quick search provides lots of infomation about the Sears kit homes. Many were sold and many still exist.

One of my general managers used to tell a story about business evolution by stating that Sears and their catalog 50 or so years ago (selling literally everything by mail) WAS what Amazon has become today. (And here's a bunch of demerits/brownies in advance to the first one who devolves this into politics).
