I learned about this from Red Dead Redemption 2 (spoiler ahead), where the protagonist purchases a pre-built home from a catalog modeled after the Sears Home catalog.
What I found particularly interesting is that what Americans today consider stereotypical American farm houses were actually these Sears houses! They had a significant influence on the country's architectural history.
