| Michael Gearhart posted A different image of the North Main Street Viaduct, looking south toward downtown Akron. The large round structure was on property belonging to East Ohio Gas. The church just in front of it was Holy Cross Church on East Lods Street. All of these houses would eventually be replaced by the Elizabeth Park housing project. Bryan Porter: This was either late 20's or the 30's. The original Beech st. power plant is in the picture. The new one was built in the early 40's in stages and I don't see it. Very cool picture of Akron when we were a good productive city. Cat Bartlett: I was there in 1976 when the demolition of the Viaduct bridge began. My uncle even had one of the streetlights from the bridge! |
