In the early 1930's, 40's and 50's cape cod homes with dormers became wildly popular in the United States. The first homes of this style came in a Sear model kit that could be ordered through the catalog. This style of home continued to gain popularity especially in New England. Today many Cape Cod style homes are being lovingly restored. For more information please visit
