The original home of Palmer-Roberts Post 214 was located where the Memorial Junior Middle School now stands. The building was donated by the Willoughby War Memorial Commission. The Memorial Commission was formed for the purpose of deciding on a suitable memorial to honor the World War I veterans. After much discussion, the Commission decided it would be appropriate to provide this home to the newly formed American Legion post. It was presented to the post in a ceremony on November 11, 1920. The post occupied this building until 1925. After fire years, the post could no longer afford the upkeep of such a large building. It was decided to sell the property to the Board of Education for use as a site for a Memorial Junior High School.
