This view of downtown Akron was taken in 1930 from the steps of the County Courthouse. The construction stemming from the tremendous growth of the rubber industry is evident in the picture with the newly completed Polsky and O'Neil department stores dominating the center of the photo and the Mayflower Hotel and Y.M.C.A. building under construction on the left and right respectively.
