Mike,
Search Google for Sears Homes and most of those in Downers Grove are
identified along with a considerable amount of other information
about these homes. One is still located on Warren Avenue between
Seeley and Montgomery Streets facing the old Q coach yard area. My
best friend lived there as a kid. They were nice well built homes.
