Created By: LaGrange Area Historical Society

Information

Built in 1923, this is The Walton from the 1923 Sears Catalog. " This design embodies strength, dignity and gracefulness. It presents a most pleasing appearance and is of a character that will long retain popular favor." The Sears Walton was probably one of Sears top-10 best selling models. It was also one of Sears most practical houses. It had 1200 square feet, a spacious front porch, compact kitchen and less than 40 square feet on the one small hallway. One defining characteristics is a small box window on the front bedroom and oversized porch.

Henry Clyde built this house for his family.

Note the photo from 1954 that shows the house before the porch was enclosed.
