| The Sears Puritan from the 1922 Modern Homes catalog. You could optionally add a sunroom off one side. The benches by the front door were included in the standard price. |
Someone else thought the Puritan would make a great dollhouse as well. Frank Moroz made this reproduction in 1/2" scale for the Nutshell News magazine.

Arwin and Lydia Rahn purchased the house in March 1927 for $6,200. Arwin worked as a lineman for the telephone company. The Rahns sold the house around 1943.
