In 1929, a train pulled into Noblesville with a delivery for textile salesman Marion Phillips. The new home he ordered from Sears, Roebuck & Co. —The Lexington — had finally arrived. See the advertisement that persuaded him at www.searsarchives.com/homes/images/1927-1932/1927_p3255.jpg. Entry The staircase lands in the large formal entry, and the dining room and living room are to the right and left. Living room Glass-fronted bookcases flank the wood-burning fireplace in the living room. Original 8-inch crown molding caps the room. Sunroom The sunroom retains its original mosaic tile floor. Kitchen/nook The kitchen has a crisp white beadboard ceiling and cabinets. The breakfast nook is a classic feature of Sears Catalog homes. Dining room A swinging door separates the dining room and kitchen. Mudroom The back door opens into a large mudroom that has a built-in storage bench and a pantry. Den Downstairs is a fourth bedroom or den. Downstairs bath The downstairs half-bath is just off the mudroom and adjacent to the den/fourth bedroom. Upstairs bath The upstairs bath has been updated a la Restoration Hardware. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are located at the front of the house. Pink bedroom A wall of windows makes this a sunny third bedroom. Nursery Situated between bedrooms 1 and 2, this handy space was designed as the nursery, but has grown to become a perfect homework room. Basement The partially finished basement houses the laundry, family room and a secret office/workshop. Roof deck The roof deck is a peaceful spot for relaxing and cooking out. James Taylor sings it best: “… right smack dab in the middle of town, I found a paradise that’s trouble-proof … up on the roof.” Garage The original owner sprang for the two-car-garage option, which would have been a luxury in 1929. Neighborhood Description Located in “Old Town,” 1210 Conner St. is close to festivities on the town square yet situated in a quiet neighborhood.
