Built in 1927 within the Sherwood Forest Historic District by the architectural firm the Gargaro Company Inc. for the Gargo Family of its namesake (Mr. and Mrs. Donald Gargaro), the Donald Gargaro House located at 19435 Canterbury Rd, Detroit, MI 48221, reflects the quality craftsmanship, master-level attention to detail, and stylistic elegance that made Sherwood Forest one of Detroit’s most sought-after residential enclaves during its early industrial expansion era.
This was a period defined by rapid architectural development across the city’s northwest side, and the Gargaro family did their part in helping make Sherwood Forest so distinguished by constructing their home at 19435 Canterbury Rd using solid construction and high-quality materials.
From there, Sherwood Forest quickly became a preferred community for Detroit’s early elite – residents of distinction and abundance with close ties to the city’s civic, business, industrial, and cultural spheres.
Today, the Donald Gargaro House remains a key part of the Sherwood Forest Historic District’s architectural landscape – a testament to the neighborhood’s upscale development, talented builders, and the enduring elegance that continues to define Detroit’s most beloved suburbs.
