Major Milestones & Community Impact
Saving the Historic Pomeroy House
Our first major project was the preservation of the historic Pomeroy House, once part of the Underground Railroad. League members cleaned, restored, and decorated the home over several years. When the community rallied to find a buyer and tenant, SWL members traveled to Columbus to secure a liquor license — paving the way for the Pomeroy House restaurant to open in 1980.
Launching Safety Town Registration
In partnership with the Strongsville Police Department, SWL initiated the original Safety Town Registration program, helping generations of children learn essential safety skills.
Strongsville Library & Old Town Hall
SWL was instrumental in passing the Library Bond Issues that enabled the library to relocate from Old Town Hall to Pearl Road. We later raised funds to renovate Old Town Hall, transforming it into a welcoming space for community meetings and events.
