Edwards-Webb House, 303 Monroe Street, Northwest; moved from 259 South Street, Southeast, Warren, Trumbull County, OH

Significance: John Stark Edwards (1777-1813) built this house in 1807. Edwards, the grandson of Jonathan Edwards, the New England preacher, was a lawyer and politician. He died in 1813. Thomas D. Webb (1784-1865), the next owner, founded the first newspaper in the Western Reserve, The Trump of Fame in 1812. Webb's Daughter, Laura, married Dr. Warren Iddings (1817-1878) in 1846, and the house stayed in the Webb-Iddings family until 1938. In 1938, a year after the building was recorded by HABS, the Trumbull County Historical Society (founded in 1938) acquired the house from the heirs of William T. Iddings. The Historical Society has moved the house twice and opened it to the public.
