Historic Akron Soap Company building converted into 53 new apartments
An 1893 soap factory that later made cereal and paint, and an attached 1919 warehouse, have been transformed into 53 apartments close to downtown Akron. The $14 million soap factory project represents the first time that Oriana House, a community corrections and behavioral health agency, has moved into market-rate housing. The decision to do so came after the group acquired the old factory at 243 Furnace St., about a half mile northeast of Luigi’s and less than a mile from downtown.
