Even More Sears Homes in Barrington

In the Barrington area, my "partner in crime" is Wende Dau, who is the proud owner of a lovely Sears Sheridan. Wende kindly saves me gas money by snapping photos of the many Sears homes in her area. Here are just a few that she took recently. (All photos courtesy of Wende Dau.)

131 N. Raymond, Barrington. This authenticated Sears Cornell was built in 1925 for the Gallagher family. Anthony Gallagher obtained a mortgage from Sears for the house.

239 W. Russell, Barrington. 

Sears Van Dorn from the 1928 Modern Homes catalog.

624 Bryant, Barrington. This is a rare two-flat from Sears that has been converted to a single-family home. This structure was moved to this location and was not built here originally. 

The Sears Garfield, from the 1928 Modern Homes catalog. The door on the far right led to the second floor apartment.

334 W. Main, Barrington. This Sears Martha Washington model is currently used as bridal shop. The business owners have a sales receipt from 1926 for $3,700. The bedrooms are used as fitting rooms.
