| Looks like a pretty close match to the Harris Home No. 1028. It is missing the funky windows in the front and has had an addition in the rear. Photo courtesy of the Arlington Heights Historical Society. |

According to the Arlington Heights Historical Society, this house was rumored to have been a Sears house, but it actually was from Harris Brothers.
This Harris Home No. 1028 was built in 1929. The original owners were Joseph A. and Mary Wisersky and their two children, Thomas and Leona. Mr. Wisersky worked for Illinois Bell Telephone Company for over 40 years. The Wiserskys owned the house until the early 1960's.

This is a big part of our shared American history and our American experience. It's fascinating to me how Free Enterprise came to the rescue of American soldiers and sailors recently released from duty, who were literally unable to buy a home due to the extreme housing shortage. God Bless Free Enterprise!
