I always forget about those, Jennie. I’ve read about the old Sears pre-fabs, and those were beautiful! And there are still companies making wonderful, classical pre-fabs even today.

Here’s a link to traditional prefabs. (I really love the modern ones myself!)

These are just the uber modern examples. My townhome is a very traditional style that was built as a 4 part modular unit (combine 2 residences in the 4 modules). It is brick veneered with 6 over 6 windows and leaded glass doors. Modular homes can be much better built than stick built because they are not exposed to the elements during construction and are built to withstand transportation. Codes are also stricter so the product is better all around.

Wow, am I the only one who just does not get this? Prefab homes are so ugly.
