ARBORETUM - The Agnes Reynolds Jackson Arboretum, established in 1986, is a serene two-acre park located at the corner of Robinwood and Delaware Avenues. The former site of St. Lukes Hospital, the park was named in memory of Agnes (Aggie) Reynolds Jackson recognizing her devotion and hard work for the Old West End. This park is maintained by volunteer neighbors with over 60 varieties of trees, shrubs and flowering bushes. Workdays are once a month from Spring through Fall with dates posted on the website (toledooldwestend.com) and in the park. Events include the Festival Beer Garden, Music in the Park concerts performed throughout the summer, the Fall Marketplace and other seasonal events.

BUSINESS/NETWORKING - The Business/ Networking Committee seeks to promote and support business owners or individuals interested in owning or developing businesses within the boundaries of the Old West End. The group meets to share information and discuss any issues of interest to its members. This committee also puts on the Fall Marketplace in the Agnes Reynolds Jackson Arboretum each year.

EDUCATION & SCHOLARSHIP - The OWEA Education & Scholarship Committee focuses on the educational advancement and support of our neighborhood students and local schools. They award a yearly scholarship to an individual furthering their post high school education.

NBI - Neighborhood Beautification and Improvement Grant - The NBI Grant program committee oversees and makes recommendations to the Executive Board for expenditures from the NBI Fund. This grant is not for improvements on private property or residenses but instead for public areas and buildings. The committee establishes parameters for accountability, oversize and reporting to the OWEA on progress. To apply for a grant, go to the OWEA website (toledooldwestend.com) for more information.

O.W.E. FESTIVAL - The Old West End Association (OWEA) is responsible for planning and funding the annual Old West End Festival, which is held the first full weekend in June. It includes Historic Home Tours, Art Fair, Marketplace, Food Concessions, Entertainment on three stages (located near the TMA Glass Pavilion, The Arboretum, and Glenwood Park), The King Wamba Carnival Parade, Children’s Activities, many area garage sales and much more. It takes over 400 volunteers to put on the Festival. Festival is an easy and great way to meet neighbors while helping the neighborhood! Funds raised during the Festival are reinvested back into the neighborhood by supporting the various Association Committees.

PRESERVATION - The purpose of the Preservation Committee is to engage in focused activities designed to preserve the historic and aesthetic qualities of the Old West End. The committee undertakes salvage efforts, conducts educational sessions and works with homeowners to identify resources to help them with preservation efforts. It also strives to identify at-risk properties to prevent them falling into disrepair during periods of vacancy. Their current project is the saving of 624 Delaware. Go to the OWEA website (toledooldwestend.com) for more information.

This building underwent a 1960s renovation, then unoccupied for almost a decade (2010), now has a fresh breath of life since purchased by new owners (Old West End residents) in 2020.

2243 Robinwood Ave.

The original home, built in 1892 was a Queen Anne shingle-style residence, and was home to the Dr. William W. Coldham family (chief of staff at St. Vincent Hospital) and his wife Kathrun until 1919. The next resident was George B Storer Jr., who founded Storer Broadcasting and named Camp Storer in honor of his father. In the 1920s, Architect David L. Stine was hired to dramatically renovate the home from a Queen Anne Style into a Tudor home (Jacobethan Revival). It features ornate barrel ceilings and quarter-sawn oak paneling throughout.

424 Winthrop St.

Built in 1908 by George Mills as an Eclectic Arts and Craftsman Style home. The charm and history of the home begins with the original owner, Mary Louise Kassick Wolcott. Nestled within the heart of Toledo, its treasured history and craftsmanship intertwine in a symphony of charm. This home is currently a work in progress by a local couple who also reside within the Old West End.
