104-5144-0010 Single Dwelling, Stories 2.00, Style: Late 19th and Early 20th C. American Movement, ca 1906 One of the most distinctive houses in the neighborhood, 525 Grove Avenue was built in 1893-1903 by the Locust Grove Investment Company, then added to and finished in 1906 by Eugene B. Moss, the salesman son-in-law of George B. Marshall, who received the property in 1903 from the LGIC. Contracted by the Lupton Brothers and built in their exclusive rock-faced concrete block, the two-story, three-bay, hipped-roof dwelling has a hipped-roof porch supported by slender Tuscan columns that stretches almost across the entire facade, has a simple wooden balustrade, and is approached by eight wooden steps. A single window occupies each of the other bays; the windows are all one/one-sash and are topped with flat arches of undecorated concrete block. The metal roof has slight eaves; central pediments filled with wooden shingles and louvered fanlights occupy the east-facing facade and north and south elevations. Two block chimneys emerge from the center of the roof.
