Sale pending on John Heisman birth site in Cleveland

• A "sale pending" sign now sits on the tree lawn, and the Zillow listing says "pending."
• The listing agent did not respond to multiple phone calls seeking confirmation of the sale.

Flashback: Born there in 1869, Heisman had a distinguished college football career as both a player (Brown University, University of Pennsylvania) and a coach (Oberlin College, Buchtel University).

The intrigue: For years, the Ohio Historical Marker honoring his birthplace was incorrectly placed farther east on Bridge Avenue, but a team of residents and researchers campaigned for the move to its current location in 2021.
