Mahlon Wright House Site - Circa 1818

Built in 1919, this building was Springboro’s first gasoline station and later served as the bus maintenance facility for Springboro Community City Schools from 1945 to 2001. It replaced the home of Mahlon Wright, a son of village founder Jonathan Wright. Mahlon Wright served Springboro as a state legislator and postmaster, was a partner with his brother Josiah in a general store at 245 South Main, and his house was a station on the Underground Railroad that offered assistance to runaway slaves during their flight to freedom.
