| The Sears Fairy from the 1932 Modern Homes catalog. |
Sears described its Fairy house as follows: "The charming simplicity of this soft stained shingled bungalow with combined living and dining room, makes it very economical."
Appropriately named, the Fairy was one of the diminutive Sears houses at just over 600 square feet. There are several Fairies in the Chicago area in places such as St. Charles, Wheaton, Oswego, and Highland Park.

Sears began selling this version of the Fairy in 1930. The McMullen family built the house in Brookfield that year.
