417 Warwick Road was built for Samuel and Abigail Barry, the parents-in-laws of Joseph Sears. The home was designed by Franklin Burnham in the Classical Revival style. Following Joseph Sears’ death in 1912, Helen Sears and some of their children moved into 417 Warwick Road. The home remained in the Sears family through the 1940s. Since the 1980s, the home has been owned by the Kenilworth Union Church. In 2022, the Kenilworth Union Church announced plans to raze the structure as part of a larger facility renovation project.
