Designed by Bernard C. Wetzel for Charles Gauss. 8100 LaSalle Boulevard built in 1926 LaSalle Gardens Neighborhood Detroit, MI.Originally Posted by xdet
Charles Gauss, tobacconist, did best in real estate. Coming to Detroit as a dishwasher, he saved up and opened his first location, but his wisest move was buying up some land on the River Rouge, before you know who wanted it. Yep, sold that for a million dollars. Even after donating over $400,000 to build Historic Trinity Lutheran Church, he left a million in cash and about the same amount in stocks, bonds, gold, jewels, etc. for the family members.
How grandpa got the news he got the job-
And all set for his chauffeur's position-
Wetzel also designed the Community House for Historic Trinity.
