Program Description

Event Details

Do you love old houses? Explore the Sears Homes of Chicagoland! From 1908 to 1942, Sears Roebuck and Company sold ready-to-build kit homes. Despite the rash of teardowns in the Chicago area, some of these houses have managed to survive. Learn what a Sears house is (and isn’t), how to authenticate one, and common misconceptions about these houses. Presented by Lara Solonickne. Registration required.
