The Richard and Mary Woodward Gregory House is a single-family home located at 913 East Augusta Road in Augusta, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. History Richard D. Gregory arrived in Augusta in 1864. Shortly thereafter, he married a local schoolteacher, Mary C. Woodward. In 1865, the couple purchased the 120 acres on which this house is located from Seth Pratt. They constructed a house on the land some time around 1870; however, this was likely an earlier house and not the present one. The Gregorys farmed the land, adding more acreage in the 1870s. They also became involved in the local community, with Richard serving as a village trustee and highway commissioner and Mary a board member of the Augusta Ladies Library Association. The present house was likely built in about 1880. Mary Gregory died in 1891; the couple had no children. Richard remarried the following year, to Mary Gott, whose family owned a neighboring farm. The couple had a daughter, Lillian, in 1894, but by 1900 Richard was living in the Kalamazoo Asylum. He died in 1903. In 1904, Mary remarried, to George Godde, and in 1906 Lillian Gregory had officially inherited the estate. Mary and George Godde continued farming, and had eight children. In 1924, George Godde died in a lightning strike. Mary continued farming; in 1931, Lillian, having married and moved, deeded the farm to Mary. Mary Godde died in 1947, and in 1949 the farm was sold to William Alonzo and Eugenie Ethel Sibole of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Eugenie died in 1954, and the farm was sold again.
