This is an authenticated Sears Puritan. According to a newspaper article from 1989, the owners found stamps on the rafters in the attic and basement. A shipping label from Sears Roebuck was also found on a piece of lumber.
The Puritan features a gambrel roof with a full-width dormer. There is a curved entry pediment with decorative brackets. The house still retains 6-over-1 sash windows.
The name of the customer on the shipping label was "C. Adane Bowles" (his name was Cyril), and former owners believed the house was constructed in 1927. Bowles was involved in real estate, and I do not have evidence he ever lived in the Puritan.
By early 1930, Vaughn C. Bacon and his wife, Madge, were living in the house. Vaughn worked for Commonwealth Edison downtown. Vaughn died in 1944, and Madge sold the house and moved back to her hometown of Wolcott, NY in 1945.
