Lombard Addition from Lawrence County Ohio Recorder's Office

IR July 16, 1891 – The Recorder is placing the plat of the Lombard Addition on record. It contains 800 lots.

IR Apr. 30, 1896 – The Lombard property, 1470 lots, just below Cemetery Lane, has been mortgaged to J. L. Doran, trustee, to secure $75,000  6 percent gold bonds. The mortgage came, for the record, Tuesday morning.

IR Feb. 6, 1902 – Ironton Company. – Petition Court for Permission to Revise Plat. – The Ironton Company filed in Common Pleas Court, Monday evening, a petition to vacate the plat of the Lombard addition, the City of Ironton, and many lot owners being made defendants. 

The petition states that in 1891, the addition of Lombard was platted in lots of 25 feet frontage and that the petitioners are the owners of more than two-thirds of said lots. They make an application to vacate the said plat for the following reasons:  – The lots have a frontage of only 25 feet, whereas lots with a frontage of 40 feet are more desirable and will find a readier sale in the market, but to sell frontage 40 feet each from an addition, containing lots 25 feet in front would encumber the records of the offices of the county. 

The plaintiff, therefore, desires to have said plat vacated so that it may file with the city council a new plat covering the Lombard addition, providing for lots of 40 feet of frontage without changing the location of dedicated streets and alleys.  –  Among the lot owners who are made parties defendants in the petition are

  • E. S. Culbertson, trustee;
  • Harry Anson,
  • Parmelia Deering,
  • A. J. Brumberg,
  • The Fearon Lumber Co.,
  • John Isaacs,
  • W. G. Ward,
  • D. C. Davies,
  • Lydia Gabler,
  • John H. Rhodes,
  • Jennie Culbertson,
  • Lucy M. Moxley,
  • Llewellyn Williams, trustee;
  • Roy W. Haney,
  • Jane Lambert,
  • Henry J. Keiser.  – Corn & Thompson and Bannon & Bannon are attorneys for the plaintiffs.

IR June 5, 1902 – Real Estate Deal. – W. G. Ward Purchases a Square in Lombard Addition. – On Tuesday, G. W. Ward closed a deal with the Ironton Company for the purchase of eight lots in the Lombard addition, comprising the square between Fifth and Sixth streets and Ashtabula street and the cement plant. Mr. Ward declines to state what he intends to do with the property, but it is said that industry for the site is probable.
