2020-2024 Targeted Resurvey of Sheboygan recommendation write-up:
This small, side-gabled, Colonial Revival-style house rises from a brick foundation and is sheathed with clapboard. A gabled, open porch with replacement post supports shelters a door with flanking sidelights. A tripartite window is located to either side of the entry. Remaining windows are one-over-one, double-hung sash that are singly arranged.
Completed in 1930 or 1931, the original owners of the house were David and Henrietta Gross, who wed in 1931. David was born in Russia in 1897 and immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of three. Following graduation from Trinity Lutheran School, he apprenticed as a machinist, the trade of which he worked until circa 1944. He and Henrietta, along with their two daughters, then moved to the Town of Wilson where they engaged in farming. David died in 1949.
