The Massillon “Coaches House”

by Carter E. Strang

From 1954 – 1964, a trio of consecutive Massillon head football coaches — Tom Harp, Lee Tressel, and my father, Leo Strang — and their families lived at 818 17th St., earning it the nickname the “Coaches House.”

If its walls could speak, they would recount tales of Massillon Tiger football triumphs, perseverance, achievements, tradition, and rich history.
