Stories:

Story 1: Gravelotte was one of two identical houses built by a wealthy merchant (probably not for his daughter as some believe). The other was the Fenton House on what is now Terrace Park School property. More research needs to be done on this as these houses may not even have been built at the same time and may not have looked the same as each other when built. See material on the Fenton House.
Story 2: Map of Gravelotte (area belonging to Thomas Biggs including this house). Miss Frances Biggs (daughter of T. R. Biggs) gave me this copy Sept 12, 1956. This plat was made no later than 1876 which was the year Mr. Biggs died. In view of the fact that he was ruined in the Panic of 1873 this plat was probably made in either 1872 or 1873. Miss Biggs died June 1, 1957. from James B. Parker Jr.
