House History

The Verross home was built by the Stephens Company, owned by George Stephens, a developer/contractor during the development of the new “suburb” of Myers Park. It is believed that construction took place sometime around 1912. It was first owned by Dr. Stokes Monroe. The house was rented for a short time to Henry Mc Aden, while his big house next door was being built.

After World War I, and around 1921, Dr. Thrift Ferguson purchased the home. It was in the living room at 934 Granville that 12 men met to plan for the building of Myers Park United Methodist Church.

Sometime between 1940-43, the Fergusons sold their home to Dr. Monroe Gilmore, one of the founders of the Durwood Clinic, which we now know as First Charlotte Physicians.

Today Dr. William and Judy Verross live in this historic 2-story brick rectilinear home on Granville Road.
