Central School Lot Sold to Government for New Post Office
Middleport records show the deed for part of the Central School lot was filed yesterday and $7,000 paid today to the Middleport Board of Education. The lot traces to an 1792 U.S. grant to the Ohio Company signed by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, with subsequent transfers leading to the United States acquiring about one fourth of the original tract for the post office. Loren G. Windom accompanied the transaction as assistant U.S. attorney.
