| Description: | "The Corey House" (was 722 Wooster). 9 rooms, 5 bedrooms, 2 baths. |
| Story 1: | "Charlie Cornish told me years ago that 722 Wooster was the first house west of the Allegheny Mountains built using concrete. I have no idea if there is any truth to this. Charlie's and Kate's father was a builder and the information came through him I think. (from Patti Normile) |
| Story 2: | ???This is where George Washington Corey grew up. (Probably not correct since this house and 722 & 726 he built on Park are built to at least very similar plans. Thus they were probably built when George was an adult and building houses.) He is the builder of 715, 722, 726 and 729 Park as well as the Baptist Church, now the Community House. George's second wife, Rachel, came here in 1877. (Conflicting information: if George grew up in the house, how could his second wife have come there the same year the house was perhaps built?) It would; make sense that it was built by G. W. Corey [another one of his concrete houses, very similar to 722 Park] for him and his second wife, rather than his growing up here. Was there a different house here first where he grew up? Needs investigation.) |
| Story 3: | George Washington Corey's 2nd wife, Rachel, was born 5 February 1834. She died on 6 February 1934, the day after the village gave her a big 100th year birthday party in the Community House. |
| Story 4: | At one time this address was known as Alice Funke property (widow of William Funke). Approximately 5.5 acres: 340 ft. on Wooster Pike and 496 ft. on Indian Hill Road. Has white cement house and a 3 room tenant house. (Source: Planning & Zoning, September 24, 1953, with request to return to business zoning from residential.) |
