Information

Built in 1928, this Modern Tutor, English style kit home from Sears was very popular in the 1920’s and 30’s. The Barrington, was copied by many other kit home builders at the time. It is very similar to the Newcastle from Aladdin and Wardway’s Maywood.

This home is a mirror image of the catalog home as seen on the left.

The earliest owner on record is Harold J Bluhm in 1933, but the Engst family lived there through the 40’s and 50’s.
