I'm giving a two-day class called Hidden in Plain Sight: Sears Homes of Chicagoland.
The first day is a fun two-hour classroom session where you will learn how to identify and authenticate a Sears home, and what makes them historically important. The second day features a two-mile walk through Aurora to see Sears houses in the wild!
