Sears Wilmore

1301 Meyers Road, Lombard.


Sears Wilmore, from the 1938 catalog.


The Sears Wilmore was sold from 1933 to 1940. The assessor says that the Wilmore in Lombard was built in 1940, which is within the realm of possibility. 

The Wilmore in Lombard has a standard door from Sears with a nine-pane window.

 
The bellcast roof on the side of the Wilmore is an identifying feature. 

 
The other side of the Wilmore has a centered door with a triangle of windows. Photo from Realtor site.
