I am the proud owner of a 1925 Sears & Roebuck Catalog Nome named 'The Windsor'. The home is named after the late Duke of Windsor who became King Edward of England. King Edward abdicated the throne of England for the woman he loved. My Italian grandfather built this home in 1925. He and my grandmother raise five children here. I was also was raised in this home. Now I am raising my son in this beautiful Sears Home.
The original kitchen cabinets are stored away in the basement. When they modernized in the 1950s
'Kitchen Made' cabinets were installed from Andrews, Indiana. I just glanced at the metal plate above the doors at the sink for accuracy. Our local newspaper today half page article on my ancestral home. It's still retains its architecture integrity. If someone is interested in discussing my home with me I would be glad to share the history. It would be nice to see our ancestral home in a magazine or newspaper again. So many memories here. My uncles fought in World War II and Korea. Myself, I am a woman Vietnam Era Navy WAVE Veteran. My grandfather had to turn away a family who belonged to the Black Hands. They wanted to store their illegal hooch and my grandpa's large brand new basement. He absolutely refused. There's a heavy story in this one because the family was very dangerous. To this day,
the few of us who are left, who remember the stories of this family, - "Never say their name!"
