Historic Akron church goes up in flames

[DGUtley]

Historic Akron church goes up in flames. A piece of Akron's history went up in flames as the former St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Sunday school caught fire late Wednesday night. Heavy smoke and flames could be seen shooting from the building on Forge and East Market. The building is now part of the University of Akron. A University spokesman told Channel 3 the building has been vacant for the past year or more.

When I hit the gym this a.m., one of the guys was walking out and told me. I drove he and I up there but we got kicked out of a nearby parking lot by the police. This church was where one of the Firestones got married.

It was owned by the University of Akron. If it was torched by the University, it was a lot-clearing torch job.
