| Additional Information: | 2023: When the house last sold in 2014, it was advertised as a Sears house. Following review of avaiable plans, from the exterior, it does appear to be "The Barrington," which was available through Sears in 1926, 1928 and 1929. An interior inspection would be needed to fully confirm. 2020-2024 Targeted Resurvey of Sheboygan recommendation write-up: Sheathed with wooden shingles, this Tudor Revival-inspired house is side-gabled in form and features a steeply pitched and slightly projecting gabled entry at the north end of its east entrance elevation and an exterior brick chimney rises along its south façade. The gabled projection includes the door and a six-light window on the first floor, while a unique, flattened pentiod window is located within the peak. A tripartite grouping of six-over-one-light sash occupy the first floor of the main block, while a paired grouping just barely breaks the roofline as a wall dormer. Windows throughout the remainder of the house are generally double-hung sash that are arranged singly and in pairs. This house was built for Harvey & Antoinette Gibbons and completed in 1928 at an approximate cost of $5,000. Harvey Gibbons was born in Sheboygan in 1897; he married Antoinette LeMahieu in 1921 and they had three children. A. World War I U.S. Army veteran, Harvey worked for the post office for nearly 40 years, retiring in 1962. In 1966, they moved to Oostburg and Harvey died five years later. |
