Originally built between 1913 and 1915 and moved to this site in 1935, the Connolly C. Gamble house is a two story, three bay, gable roofed structure with replacement aluminum siding.…
Connolly Currie Gamble (1891-1982) was born in Watkins Glen, New York and came to Hickory where he operated Gamble's Grocery for sixteen years. He married Rachel Steed Pugh, a native of Randolph County, in 1920. Mrs. Gamble and Sarah Deal opened Sarah's Flower Shop in 1946, and she worked there until her retirement in 1971. She had attended Claremont High School and Salisbury Business College. The couple met in 1914 in this house when it was located on the site of the present office of the Hickory Daily Record. At the time it was owned by Connolly's mother Carrie Gamble and the house was taken apart piece by piece and rebuilt on the Sixth Street site. The Sanborn map of 1925 suggests that it was a one and one-half story house before it was moved.
