Does anyone know if Sears Catalog Homes were built in Floyd County? They were built around the country between 1908 and 1940. These homes were the early versions of prefabricated homes. What amazes me is that they shipped the house in pieces by train and then hauled them out to the farm by horses and wagons. I suppose if anyone in Floyd County ordered one of these homes, the closest railroad station was probably Roanoke.does anybody know? Were there any railroad lines closer to Floyd County? I started thinking about this when reading the snippets of news from the Floyd Press provided by Jack Spangler. The Floyd Press articles are from the early 1900s and quite a few comments were made about wanting the railroad to be built in Floyd County.
