Prince Albert Washington House 

After serving in the armed forces during World War I, Prince Albert Washington bought property in the West Fairmount Heights subdivision. With the help of friends, he built his house over the next two years with plans and materials he ordered from Sears, Roebuck and Company. The model was similar to Sears’ popular “Westly” model. Washington moved into the house in 1924 with his new bride, and following his military service worked at the Department of the Interior.
