MULL AVENUE
Mull Avenue probably received its name from the Mull family who owned a farm in the area. The original house, which still stands, is located at 73 Mull Avenue. Once, when the house was for sale, an advertisement gave this description:
“Fabulous find for the Unique buyer! Enjoy the prestige and romance that comes with a home built nearly two centuries ago. Located close to Highland Square, this Ohio historical Landmark built in 1846 by Charles Mull, is one of the first Western Reserve Style homes in Ohio under the Connecticut Land Grant. Beam & Peg construction, featuring incredible wide plank, tongue & grooved, American Chestnut flooring. 44 windows allow maximum light from dawn to dusk, perfect for an artist or musician. Heritage landscaping with a fenced back yard, treed & perfect for bird watching, raised garden beds w/ stone walls. All systems have been upgraded while the home retains its historical integrity. 3Bdrs., 2ba's, overly spacious Liv Rm, dining room, charming study & back staircase off kitchen. Situated on a very private, quiet street, everything about this gentle gracious homestead whispers Welcome Home. An absolute hidden treasure. Carriage could fit 1-2 cars. History lover's delight.”
Originally Mull Avenue was probably a short, dirt road until it was upgraded and lengthened. The earliest recording of Mull Avenue in the city records was in 1905 - 1906 record book at which time it started at West Market Street and extended to one block west of Rose.
