The original owners were Gertrude and Enoch Jackson Dewire. The Dewires got a mortgage from Sears Roebuck for $5,000 in 1928. By 1930, they valued the house at $12,000.
Enoch owned a leather company in Chicago called E. Jackson Dewire & Son. He died in 1933. By 1940, Gertrude had sold the house and moved in with her son.

Fantastic! We so rarely have the documentation we need to be sure a Maywood-looking house is a Maywood. Have we ever seen interior shots before? Great post! (Love that door!)
