History

This modest house has historically been called the Martin, Harlow, and Jenkins House, after some of its owners. A detailed account of the successive residents can be found on the Ohio Historic Inventory for this address, accessible from the Oberlin Heritage Center website. The College purchased the house in 2006; it is now one of many in its Village Housing program for students.
