| Title | Thirty Acres Lane #5 - The Pond House |
| Description | Lemuel Porter (1775-1829) likely built this circa-1845 home for abolitionist John B. Clark (1793-1872), who was said to have served as a conductor on the Underground Railroad. Clark, a farmer, once served as a trustee of Hudson village and also was an associate judge of the Court of Common Pleas for Summit County. Daniel H. Pond (1870-1946), a colonel of Company C Fifth Ohio Volunteer Infantry in the Spanish-American War, also once lived here. Pond was related to the Fox family, who were contributors to the spiritualism movement. His wife, Mariam Buckner Pond Mackenzie (1892-1970), wrote a book about the family entitled, "Time is Kind: the Story of the Unfortunate Fox Family." |
