I've updated the post to reflect that, and I've put Maria Morton's books into my queue so that I can see if there's any additional detail that I can add.Christopher Busta-Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428701548572867797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2140721014134558960.post-47010602781377911352010-08-10T14:17:44.517-04:002010-08-10T14:17:44.517-04:00The Silsby house is located in University Heights ...The Silsby house is located in University Heights and was on 30-33 acres owned by Frederick Silsby (as evidenced on 1898 and 1914 plat maps). It sat at this corner with a couple of outbuildings. The Silsbys owned many acres in Cleveland Heights and University Heights in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Silsbys were early leaders in CH, William Silsby having been one of the first councilman here. I believe there is additional Silsby information in one of Marian Morton's Arcadia books.
