Known as "W. J.," Roberts grew up in Cincinnati, but came to Cleveland in the 1870s where he made his fortune as a principal in a lead factory in the Flats. Later in his life he served as President of Brooklyn Savings & Loan Association. He lived in the house at 5005 Franklin Boulevard for nearly 40 years--from 1882 until his death in 1919. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
