Over the last several years, the society has acquired the houses, built in the late 1800s. The most recent acquisition came in late November with a $39,900 cash purchase of 413 Annadale Ave. from the estate of Nicholas Bucci.
The other three houses including 417 Annadale Ave., 942 Gare Ave. and a house directly facing the historic prison on Ohio 545 were obtained in recent years, including properties scheduled for demolition through the Land Bank.
The preservation society has no firm plans for the four houses. They are nestled among other occupied homes in the small neighborhood on the northern tip of the 26 1/2-acre parcel purchased by Robert Hancock in 1892. The land was once owned by Phoebe Wise, a woman made famous by the writings of Louis Bromfield.
