History of Leggett CLC

Constructed in 1889
Additions in 1914 and 1921
Named in honor of Mortimer D. Leggett (1821-96)
Mortimer D. Leggett, Akron's first superintendent of schools, served from 1847 to 1849. In addition to his duties as superintendent, he was principal of the grammar school at an annual salary of $500. During his short tenure, he was responsible for the formal organization of the Akron school system. When the new school board was unable to honor his request for additional compensation, he resigned his post.
