Official YouTube channel for The Applegate House of Akron Ohio

Built in 1927 shortly before The Great Depression, it was one of the first homes to be erected on the Oakland Avenue block in the North Hill Neighborhood. Sitting over 1500 square feet in size it is one of the largest and tallest houses on the street, featuring a signature brick chimney that’s nearly 4 stories in height.

Over the decades not much was changed around the property, it’s original exterior wood siding and interior hardwood floors all managed to survive.

Then in the early 1990’s The Applegate Family purchased the property, slowly renovating it as the years went on. Today it sits as a shining example of what the American dream is all about.

Now for nearly a century countless families, their children born and raised here have called this place home.

We believe it is critical to continue it’s preservation for the future generations, as well as saving part of North Hill’s history.
