  2. Fun to find the home I grew up in listed here. It was a Walton model. Enjoyed my visit to your blog. Kudos. And, thanks.

  3. I live in one of these kit homes. It isn't a Wardway Berkley, but rather a Gordon Vantine Rose Glen built in 1929.

    1. Thanks for letting us know! Gordon-Van Tine supplied all the houses for Montgomery Ward and the Berkley and Rose Glen are almost identical in design. As we see more Ward houses, I generally list these identical designs as being from Ward unless I learn otherwise. If you can contact me directly with your address, I can update the listing.
