The Robert and Matilda Kitch Grindley House was constructed in 1897 as a single-family dwelling for the Grindley family.〔(Grindley, Robert M. and Matilda Kitch, House ) from the state of Michigan〕 The house is significant because of its association with the Grindley family. Three of the Grindleys (Robert McBride, Sarah, and Joseph) made significant contributions to the surrounding community, including participating in various churches and in the social development of local youth.〔
Robert McBride Grindley married Matilda Kitch in 1891.〔(Robert M. and Matilda Grindley House ) from the city of Detroit〕 Robert was president of City & Suburban Homes Company, Ltd., and was involved in much of the subdivision of what is now Detroit's western and northwestern sections.〔 The company helped manufacturers locate plant sites, found temporary and permanent homes for their workers, and pioneered and an easy payment plan, enabling hundreds of people to buy their own homes.〔 Robert was also a key influence in the establishment of the Boys Club of Detroit and was a Charter Member of the Detroit Board of Commerce. He died in 1946.〔
Sarah A. Grindley opened several Sunday schools and a camp, and was godmother to many children whose fathers were factory workers.〔 She died in 1945.
