The Daniel Grass Home
Before Renovation
Front View

The Daniel Grass Home is a two-story dog trot (breezeway) cabin with six-over-six double hung sashes. The lower two cabins were built then a second story was added, resting on the two with a dogtrot between them. It has two tables on the front built from an Erie Canal boat.

Judge Daniel Grass was the second man to take a land grant in Spencer County, and was the first to own land in the present city of Rockport. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of Indiana held in 1818. This double cabin home exhibits a breezeway or "dog trot" as it was called in the early days.
