The Historic Old West End in Toledo, Ohio - Robinwood Avenue



2553 Robinwood was home in 1910 to Stuart Bullock, a consulting engineer with architect George Stratford Mills. By 1918, F. M. Fuller lived here. Mr. Fuller was the vice-president and secretary of the George E. Pomeroy Company with locations at 302-04 Huron and 19 Spitzer Arcade. Fuller's biography may be read in Toledo & Lucas County Vol. 3 on page 235. His wife was Marjorie Fuller. His son Edward Fuller and daughter Elizabeth Fuller boarded here in 1921.

On August 8, 1891 W C Adams took out a permit for a $3,000 house to be constructed on Robinwood Avenue. The 1896 city directory listed William Adams as living at 2431 Robinwood which is an address that disappeared from later directories. The 1900, 1910, 1918 and 1921 city directories listed the occupant of 2445 Robinwood as William Adams who became the secretary and treasurer of the Fred Adams & Son Company located at 619-21 Monroe Street. Mr. Adams was seriously injured in July 1903 when a horse he was inspecting to purchase, kicked him resulting in serious abdominal injuries. In 1921 Willard Adams, a salesman with Fred Adams & Son which was a wholesale feed dealer, lived in the family home. Augusta Jerendt served the family in 1896, Clara Lipke in 1900, and Bertha Waigand was the Adams' live-in domestic in 1910.
