Starr House and Broad Street in Early Elyria
Elyria history notes focus on the Starr house on Broad Street built about 1826 by Theodore Ely, later owned by Raymond Starr and family. The article recalls the Greek Temple style, the 1873 fire that devastated the block, and nearby historic homes like the Monroe and Goodwin houses, with later demolition for commercial blocks and current vacant lots.
