1890s Akron building will be torn down. What was it? | Local history
It won’t be long now. The brick facade is collapsing and the milled wood is rotting. Vandals have smashed out the windows and tagged the walls with graffiti. Demolition will begin soon on the derelict building at 198 Cuyahoga St. in the Cascade Valley of Akron. In 2023, city officials condemned the 19th century structure as a public hazard and awarded a contract Oct. 19 to Butcher & Son Excavating to tear it down. Bricks could fly any day now. The blue-and-gray building — an unusual paint scheme from recent decades — has a distinctive three-arch front that hints at past grandeur. What was this place? Over the past 130 years, it had two priorities: sales and souls.

It warped some railroad ties, cost about $50,000, and earned a five-paragraph story on page 11-C of the next morning's Plain Dealer. No photographer reached the scene while it was burning, and no picture of the flames is known to exist.
