In 1935, Nancy Gross Tabbs built this house on Augusta Avenue (now Navahoe Street) for her daughter, Janine, and herself. Viola Gross, and Margret Gross Gray, Tabbs’ nieces, later inherited the home as it is pictured here in the 1950s. In 1989 a great-great niece of Tabbs purchased the home from her great-aunt’s estate.
