Second, a meteorite that smashed a hole in a house, whether from direct impact, or bouncing, deserves the distinction of the damage it caused. It also damaged a car and put a hole in the street, and some pieces landed on top of the neighbors home.
I got alot of pieces of that meteorite, so did Bob Evans and other people. Michael Cottingham bought some from me so there is no doubt about what he is selling.

Hi Jeff,
The last paragraph sounds very much like it did NOT hit a house.
My original question addresses Michael Cottingham's
wording in his ad that definitely IMPLIES (but does not emphatically state)
that the stone hit the house. SO WHICH IS IT???
Does anyone KNOW?

page at the address below and includes an interesting description from Steve
Arnold (not Chicago).

Hello Michael and list,
The Winslow St. was one of the more well known "impact" locations. The
house, yard, car, et al, was showered with a large stone (~2 kg.) that
shattered in the street and it became the focal point of collectors. The
most damaged spot, a "crater" as the homeowners called it was in the siding
by the door. The meteorite broke siding in several spots, but by the door,
it went through the siding, insulation and put a nice mark on the clap
board. I purchased the "crater" from the home owner last year. (Several as
found siding pieces are also in my collection....one of which is "ejecta"
from my crater). For which my friends still make fun of me (.....and picking
up a blown up X-Prize space capsole/nosecone the following month didn't help
that.)
With the help on the homeowner's I documented the Winslow St. events for Meteorite Times.
