We took a short walkabout after seeing the Sojourner Truth Plaza. Yearstone for Carnegie Library, now part of Akron Art Museum, a little ornate, and a little confusing—
MCMII (1902).
One building had originally been a law school.
Some businesses are willing to make a great sign.
Northern Ohio Traction and Lighting Company was an electric interurban railway that was the product of mergers of different lines from c,1900 to 1926. It was bought by the electrical utility, Ohio Edison in 1930. The rails stopped running in 1932. Do not know why they chose a funereal ornament. Well they did carry the dead.
This is only the second of Kyle Holbrook's peace signs i have seen. He has painted these all over the United States on his Gun Violence Awareness National Tour. This one was in the alley between two buildings.
This 1899 Post Office is also part of Akron Art Museum, it is directly across the Carnegie Library. The lanterns are reproductions of the originals. The outside architectural details of these two buildings are high quality beauties.
