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.
