Side-gabled in form, this two-story, Arts & Crafts-style house is sheathed with stucco, while the roof is covered with dimensional asphalt shingles. Exposed rafter tails detail the roof’s eaves. The main block features a porch with segmental-arched openings that alternate with wide round columnar supports; this enclosed porch space is created by the extension of the home’s overall roof line. The home’s original primary entrance, as well as two pair of six-over-one-light sash are located within the porch enclosure. Rising from the roof is a dormer that also carries two pair of six-over-one-light sash. Windows throughout the remainder of the house are typically paired and appear to retain their original double-hung, multiple-light sash openings. A two-story gabled wing, believed to be original to the home, extends from the main block to the north, while a flat-roof garage extends from the house along its north side. No historic photos of the home were located during research.
Known as “Hillside,” this house was completed in 1918 for the widowed Henriette Roth and her family. Henriette Kanitz was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States at the age of eleven with her family. In 1860, she married her brother-in-law Henry E. Roth, a pioneer settler in Sheboygan and the owner and operator of the Sheboygan Lime Works. Following Henry’s death in 1887, Henriette took over the firm, actively serving as president until her death in 1928. The next owners of the house were Arno and Sophie Zurheide by no later than 1936. Arno was born in Sheboygan in 1901 and married Sophie Siewert in 1925, the same year that he founded the Zurheide Ice Cream Company at 816 Michigan Avenue. The Zurheides remained in the home until their deaths; Sophie died in 1984 and Arno in 1996.
