Sears Home Names--the Chicago Connection

Sears, Roebuck & Co. had its headquarters in Chicago, and the Modern Homes Division of Sears was based here as well. 

Although Sears homes were sold all over the United States, many of the Sears models were named after well-known streets and suburbs of Chicago. It makes it easy to remember the model names when they are words you hear every day!
