The Caroline Grow House is a historic house at 603 N. 6th Avenue in Maywood, Illinois. The house was built circa 1902 by Caroline Grow, whose late husband David bought the house's plot in 1875. It has an American Foursquare design, a utilitarian style which was popular in the early twentieth century. The 2+1⁄2-story house has a rectangular form with a front porch supported by four columns and a hip roof with a central dormer, a typical layout for a Foursquare home. The design also includes Neoclassical details such as the Doric capitals on the porch's columns; these were common in Chicago-area architecture after the 1893 Columbian Exposition popularized the style.[2]
