Huron's Old Plat neighborhood is an ecletic mix of interesting houses and even more interesting people. There is an optional neighborhood association, the Old Plat Association, through which social events like an Easter egg hunt, summer picinic, and Christmas carolling events are planned. Also, there is an annual neighborhood garage sale (This will take place on Saturday, May 19 from 8-2 with 20+ houses participating.). We also have a self-guided walking tour brochure should you want to stroll around our neighborhood. Copies of this can be found at the Huron Public Library, the Huron Chamber of Commerce, or online (http://huron.net/pdf/walking%20tour%2007.pdf).
There are a few historic homes for sale in the neighborhood, and we are looking for new homeowners who will cherish these old houses and be true to their history. Previously, I discussed the house located at 125 Center Street. This house is still for sale. Another great house that has recently come on the market is located at 125 Williams Street. This home, built circa 1838, was the longtime home of Rev. Samuel Marks. Marks was the minister at Christ Episcopal Church in Huron for many years and was well-loved by the entire community. The current owners have emassed quite a history on Samuel Marks and are willing to share this with the new owners. Here is a link to the listing: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/125-Williams-St_Huron_OH_44839_M33780-97293. As the president of the Old Plat Association, I am happy to answer any questions you might have about the neighborhood or Huron in general.
Since 2004, Historical Research Partners has helped individuals answer questions about their genealogy and/or the history (or genealogy) of their house. We have helped clients answer questions including when was my house built, who built it, what interesting events happened here, etc. We are willing to work with you to discover whatever level of detail you want. We hope you enjoy some of the stories of the interesting people and places that we have researched over the years.
