Sometimes you come across a Sears house that is cute in every way. This is the case with a Sears Hamilton in West Chicago.
The Hamilton is a small cottage with jerkinhead (clipped) dormers, sold from 1922-1930. The county reports that this Hamilton in West Chicago was built in 1927, which is reasonable.

This one has come through time with a lot of its features intact! The attic hall with its well-maintained woodwork is beautiful. I hope the new owners will similarly value the integrity of this house and refrain from extensive alterations!
