Sloss House Item Info
- Title:
- Sloss House
- Description:
- Charles E. Bessey was the home's first resident from 1883-1884. The porch was built in 1884. The longest resident, Thomas Sloss, moved in in 1925. Sloss was superintendent of buildings, and during the 11 years that he lived in the home, he did various remodeling and additions, including extending the south porch, removing the west porch, and adding a garage to the northwest corner, sunroom, study, and bath. The Sloss House now is the home of the Margaret Sloss Women's Center, named after Thomas Sloss's daughter, who was the first woman to earn a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine and a faculty member from 1923 to 1972.
