Standard Addition Sears Homes
Rice St.
Phone:
These homes were built by the Standard Oil Company to house mine workers
in 1917. The Standard Oil connection is where the Standard Addition name
comes from. With 152 houses spanning 9 blocks it is the largest group
of Sears Catalog Homes still standing in the USA.
Turn east on Rice St. which runs through the middle of the Standard
Addition. More or less includes High St. on the west, University on
the east, Whitley on the north and Burton on the south.
Three of the Sears home styles are shown on this page.
