The Bulley Mansion*

Canton, Ohio

home of the family of

David Wilson and Effie Jane (Schaub) Latta

ca 1911

Other Homes: In 1910 the Latta family lived at 3l6 l/2 S. Hartford St., Canton, then moved a few houses down to 308. From there the family moved to the Bulley Mansion on South Cherry (above picture), then located on the corner of Gibbs and 15th, N.E. (l4ll - l5th). (If anyone can find some history on this "Bulley Mansion," I certainly would appreciate their sharing it with me.) From the Bulley Mansion they moved to 426 - l8th St., N.W. Aunt Jan told me that her dad decided to move from 18th Street when he broke a neighbor's window playing football with the kids. The family then bought homes at 3803 East Tuscarawas St. in 1924 and then around 1947 moved to 2200 Broad Avenue, N. W. (Below is a photo of that home.) All these locations are in Canton, Ohio.

The home on Broad Avenue had a lot of ground, a garden, a small orchard, many flower beds, and a flower room (called a "posey" room by Grandma--Effie Jane Schaub Latta). Additional buildings included a garage, a workshop and a green house. Grandpa (David Wilson Latta) kept bee hives too. The home had the most wonderful rooms upstairs and in the basement to explore. When Grandpa returned home from Chicago, all his children and their families would all go there for supper on Saturday nights. It was probably about twice a month. The highlight of my summers as a little girl was to spend a week there with Aunt Jan and Grandma. We played so many games together, wonderful memories. I was so blessed to have them in my life.
