September 17, 2008: Second Week of Auctions Raises $50,000 for Siegel House

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that over $50,000 has now been raised for the restoration of the house where Jerry Siegel lived when he dreamt up Superman.

    Early Tuesday morning, sales in the second of four eBay auctions reached $18,996. That, combined with last week's auction proceeds of $34,459, puts the two-week total at $53,455, surpassing the original goal of $50,000. Two more week-long auctions will be held over the next two weeks.

    The money will be used to replace the roof and rebuild the exterior of the former home of Jerry Siegel on Kimberly Avenue on Cleveland's East Side in the coming weeks. Money raised in excess of $50,000 goal will be used for interior repairs and other work.
