Valerie Hall+FollowDine inside Akron’s most storied homesImagine savoring a chef-prepared meal in a beautifully restored historic home, all while hearing the stories that shaped Akron. This fall, Progress Through Preservation is opening the doors to seven unique homes for intimate dinners and guided tours, each Sunday from Sept. 21 to Oct. 5. From Italian feasts on a 1928 patio to Victorian dinners in a 19th-century mansion, each evening is a chance to experience Akron’s past up close. Seats are limited and these events always sell out fast—so if you’re curious about local history or just love a good meal in a one-of-a-kind setting, now’s the time to reserve your spot! #Food #AkronHistory #HomeTours00Share
megan01+FollowAkron’s grand Parker Home auctioned for $185KA piece of Akron history just changed hands for a fraction of its former price. The iconic Parker Home, once one of the city’s most impressive residences, sold at auction for $185,000—far below its previous $687,000 asking price. This 1912 Arts & Crafts mansion, packed with original details like stained glass and a carved staircase, needs major repairs (including parts of the second floor!). Still, it sits on a rare 1.6-acre lot near Portage Country Club. Would you take on a massive fixer-upper if it meant owning a slice of local history? Let’s hear your thoughts! #RealEstate #AkronHistory #FixerUpper10Share
