In 1896 Heinrich Stroh planned a house and garden center for the gardener Gustav Scheuermann at Orthstrasse 3 in Heilbronn. The house has not been preserved.

In the same year he planned the residential and commercial building at Kaiserstraße 40 / Kiliansplatz 1 for the merchants Adolph Grünwald and Ernst Pfleiderer. The building, which was controversial in the planning phase because of the facade design, fell victim to the air raids in World War II. He planned the neighboring houses at Kaiserstrasse 42 and 44 in 1897.

Stroh's plans for the residential building at Bismarckstrasse 13 in Heilbronn for print shop owner Alfred Scholz came from 1898.

At the turn of the century, Stroh designed the house for Theodor Haakh at Bergstrasse 30. The building has been preserved and is now used as a municipal kindergarten.

In 1899 Heinrich Stroh designed a country house for the doctor Dr. Gustav Wild in Haller Strasse 7. It was rebuilt after the war, heavily modified.

The recreation house, around 1900

The house at Arndtstrasse 1, now a listed building, dates from the same year . Commerzienrat Louis Link had in his will the foundation of a recreation house, in which the sick and weak should go through a rehabilitation phase at cost price. From 1922, the country-style building was used as an urban retirement home.

From around 1900 the renovation of the house at Kaiserstraße 52 on the corner of Klostergasse for the new owner Heinrich Grünwald was carried out according to Stroh's plans. The work was controversial because, in the opinion of some citizens, it amounted to a new building of the house.

The residential and commercial building of the baker August Pflaumer at Sülmerstrasse 107, which Stroh planned in 1902, has not been preserved. Max Rosengart supported Pflaumer when the neighborhood objected to the plans.

The tenement houses at Olgastraße 50 and 54, which were built in 1902/1903 according to Stroh's plans, are now listed. In the topography of the monument to the Heilbronn district, the high-quality craftsmanship of the facades is emphasized. The architectural sculpture of the gable is still to be assessed as historical , while the decoration of the window axes and also the gable show more progressive tendencies, since the historical apparatus of forms has been reduced here.
