S.202.2 – Chester Bragg Residence, 6644 34th Street, Berwyn, Illinois LINK TO DISCUSSION OF AMERICAN SYSTEM-BUILT HOMES This and two other homes were recently “discovered” as being American System-Built Homes, constructed by Chester Bragg in 1915. Bragg was the ASBH dealer in this area. Bragg lends his name to this home because he resided here. It sits on the corner of 34th and Wesley, affording excellent views from two streets (and a partial view from the alley). The other recent discoveries are former S.203.5 and S.203.6. Both those properties were removed from the 4th edition of the Storrer book, though. My question for other researchers: was this the same Chester Bragg (Chester Homer Bragg), a real estate broker at 3101 Harlem Avenue, Berwyn who testified against Al Capone? See U.S. Treasury Department report on Al Capone for more details of Bragg’s involvement, particularly beginning at page 13. Photographed on November 11, 2013.
