A Crowning Jewel of a Bungalow: The Corona | Sears Modern Homes (searshomes.org)
The Corona as seen in the 1919 Catalogue for Sears Roebuck Co. Home Kits ..
All of his life, he’d appreciated the fine craftsmanship and beauty of the Sears Corona in his hometown, and he vowed that when he grew up, he’d live in a house just as beautiful and well-built.
He’d recently finished his own home in Chillicothe, and his beautiful new home had been built as a modern-day replica of the old Sears Corona.
Now it was getting interesting.
The next morning, I delayed my trip home to Godfrey, Illinois and detoured to Chillicothe. It was well worth the trip, and it was a beautiful home.
In my many travels, I’ve only seen three Coronas, and two of them were within 20 minutes of each other. The third was the reproduction Corona in Chillicothe.
By the way, “Corona” is Latin for the word “crown.”
