About Preservation House
Progress Through Preservation’s new headquarters,
Preservation House was built as a one-room schoolhouse
in 1870 just after our country’s Civil War when Akron was
one of the fastest-growing communities n the United States.
In addition to serving as PTP’s new home, Preservation
House is also the focus of a more than $200,000 restoration
project by PTP. The most immediate goal is to make the
building more recognizable as a schoolhouse again –
specifically, through such additions as a period-appropriate
belfry.
