This is another one of the homes renovated by the Wyss family. In 2005, this 1911 Tudor Revival was in foreclosure and badly in need of repair. State Senator Tom Wyss and his late wife, Shirley, were living in another neighborhood home on 33rd Street at the time. When their daughter and son-in-law purchased the home at 3043 Penn, the Wysses decided to buy this home so they could be across the street and closer to their grandchildren. The property was stripped down to the studs and renovated in a way that is both historically sensitive and perfectly suited for family use. When this home became too big for Senator Wyss, he moved next door to 3048 Penn after his daughter and son-in-law renovated that property with the same care they had done so many times before.

Until retiring in 2014, Tom was an Indiana State Senator representing the 15th District in Fort Wayne.
