Description: This September 2020 view of the southeast corner of East Market Street and Goodyear Boulevard, in the East End of Akron, Ohio, comprises the former Ohio Savings and Trust Company building in the foreground and Goodyear Hall behind it. Both built in 1920 to a design by the Cleveland-based firm of Walker & Weeks, one of Ohio's most prolific of the era, the buildings served various purposes relation to the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company: the former is exemplary of the Neoclassical style and served as longtime home to Ohio's first company-owned bank (renamed Goodyear State Bank in 1933), the latter a Gothic-Romanesque hybrid faced in brilliant red terra cotta and accpommodating a host of different amenities enjoyed by Goodyear employees: a gynmasium and indoor stadium, bowling alleys, rifle ranges, bathhouses, a large auditorium, library, music rooms, and more.
