Streetsboro House Receives Funding
historic home has spent two years on a trailer
Walmart Stores Inc. has provided the
Streetsboro Heritage Foundation with $65,000
in order to create a permanent home for the
1828 Col. John Singletary House. The house,
the second oldest wood-frame structure in
Portage County, has been waiting two years to
find a permanent home, since it was moved for
new development and placed on top of a
trailer behind the Walmart Supercenter on S.
R. 14. The structure was Streetsboro's first
post office, its first telephone exchange, a
tavern and a stagecoach stop. This is the
second time Walmart has donated money for the
house - in 2006, Walmart provided $80,000 to
have the house placed on the trailer. The
Streetsboro Heritage Foundation, which was
formed to save the house, plans to have it
moved onto its new foundation by early spring
of this year.
