in 1912 by Henry Winter, an assistant cashier at People’s State Bank in downtown
Holland, and partner in Notier, Van Ark and Winter law firm. The Winters remained there
until 1936, and then Andrew and Isabella DuMez, of DuMez Brothers (dry goods) lived in the
home from 1940 to 1952. They were followed by John and Winifred Hollenbach who resided in
the home until 1972. John was dean and later president of Hope College. |
