81 0121 05
January 21, 1981
The information we received back in 81 was that Marvin Flanders had built the Sears Roebuck house in 1921. The Gainer family was living there and burning trash in the backyard when the shed caught fire. It burned down and the back of the house was scorched. It's on the corner of US 221 South and Mount Olive Way near Mount Olive Church.
We didn't see the exact model on the sears link, but you may find the images interesting http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/byimage.htm
