While the airships, the Municipal Terminal building represents the City of Akron's investment in the future of safe commercial air traffic. The terminal was completed and dedicated on June 15, 1931. and physical point of arrival and departure as seen from both the automobile and airplane. The terminal, which retains its original configuration and Art Deco design and detailing, has the historic integrity to convey its association with the earliest days of commercial air traffic.

(historic floor plan C; photos D & G) The linear street elevation is Their vertical emphasis is further emphasized by hipped copper roof topped by flag pole pylons reminiscent of the air races of the era. Passenger service's newness and uniqueness is underscored in the designated use of the roof as an observation platform which is serviced by these interior stair wells and exterior stairways at both ends of the terminal. In the historic floor plan note the absence early aircraft. Any bulky and weighty luggage would have been shipped via other overland means. The airport terminal building is of modern movement art deco design with a symmetrical facade in scaled proportions, executed in cream brick with terra-cotta detailing using subtle colors of cream, muted orange and soft green.

The semi-octagonal terra cotta arch flank the entrance, which fronts a setback three story tower in the form of an elongated polygon extending as a rear wing. The tower's parapet has low-relief geometric terra cotta banding with a copper cornice(photo 9). The Eastern and Western Hemispheres are depicted in deep terra cotta friezes over the two entrances on the runway façade. (photos 4 & 5) The terra-cotta spandrels over the original ground floor windows reflect a stylized American Indian feather and wing motif. Besides the Restaurant sign over the main entry, the replaced steel casement windows are the only noticeable indication of the interior - adaptive re-use of the building. The preserved openings have been reglazed using dark extruded aluminum and glass which disappear from a distance but form a large glazed window with a multi small paned transom above when approached.

The protruding control tower contains a diminutive two-story half-round observation bay window surmounted by a copper-enscrolled three-faced clock. The white framed area between the clock and lower observation window contains the fresnal lens airport floodlight used to illuminate the tarmac for night landings. (photos F & G) balloon station (photo 8). This structure as well as the entry parking causeway, original southern passenger loading aprons, fence and loading gates remain as part of its earlies configuration. (illust. B & C) These remaining site elements underscore the interpretation of the terminal's early participation in commercial air traffic by the physical distance one had to travel through the outdoor elements to climb up into a waiting aircraft from the terminal.

Entering the ground floor, the preserved decorations of the waiting/dining room reinforced the social status of the passengers who Akron-Fulton International Airport Administration Building could afford early passage.(See comparative plans) The octagon regressive coffer ceiling of the waiting/dining room is emphasized NPS Form 10-900-a (8-86) To the west of the main terminal building is a simple 10 x 12feet brick structure with an external stair originally used as aweather (photo 1) The 1931 Akron Municipal Airport Terminal building is the northern-most building of the airport complex, comprising the The terminal's setting, once grander than now seen, was influenced by the City Beautiful movement.

Although many of these decorative elements remain, there have been several modifications to accomodate the restaurant function and aesthetic.

Most of the luminaires have been updated, a few changes have occured to the decorative ceiling elements and the built-in benches have been replaced as partitions. Early commercial passenger air traffic was an expansion of the earlier airmail delivery system reflected by the customs area and the post office (adjacent to the main waiting area, now an intimate dining room).

Following the relocation of the control tower operations by the FAA in the early 1960s, the Akron-Canton Regional Airport supplemented the terminal in 1962.

The Customs and administrative office remained operational to serve Canadian and small aircraft traffic until the early 1990s when the building and immediate grounds were sold by the city and the terminal interior was adaptively redesigned as Café Piscitelli, an Italian Eatery.

U.S. airline traffic acceptance in 1928 reached 60,000 as early as the next year, 1929, the number of bookings increased to 160,000. The other National Register air service related resource in Ohio from this period is the Columbus tower which is not Commercial air service began before World War One with the huge German Zeppelins flying scheduled routes in Europe.

Likewise, Goodyear Company's aviation division invested in the same vision with the construction of the Goodyear Air Dock on the site of the airfield in 1929 at a cost of 2.2 million dollars. Design and construction of the rigid frame lighter-than-air Zeppelin, U.S.S. Akron, began the same year and was completed in 1931. As early as 1921, heavier-than-air passenger operations began with the conversion of war-surplus aircraft to passenger planes. The Experiencing a period of unprecedented growth, the City of Akron authorized $1,838,000 for developing the site of Akron's first airport, started by barnstormer Baines (Shorty) E. Fulton in 1924. Altogether 850 surrounding acres were dedicated to the new airfield. Serious work began with the erection of the Goodyear Air Dock in 1929; it was completed the same year. The Akron City this terminal.

November 6th of the same year 42 bids were received with the construction contract being awarded to O.C Harbaugh for the amount of $81,700. June 15, 1931 the terminal officially opened its doors. Later Konarski also designed the Guggenheim Airship Institute, located one half mile west of the Air Terminal on Triplett Boulevard in a mature Art Deco Motif featuring a major terra cotta relief facing the airport runways. In the pre-World War II years, lucrative government airmail contracts kept commercial air carriers in business. Passenger traffic by paid airlines that carried mail. Walter Brown used the Mail Service to subsidize and direct the growth and development of the infant air passenger industry.

While Akron's hopes for rigid frame lighter-than-air Zeppelin military air traffic suffered and were abandoned following catastrophic airship accidents, heavier-than-air travel expanded. Even though Postmaster General Brown's methods proved to be his downfall, his vision of an efficient commercial air transport system was realized with the inclusion of several well-financed and competitive transcontinental airlines using bigger, faster and better planes Airlines unveiled its new passenger plain, the Douglas DC-3 in 1936. Seating 21 passengers the DC-3 had a flight range of 1,500 miles, allowing for coast-to-coast air routes and the future growth of commercial air traffic.

The DC-3 was the first plane that could Because of the City's forward thinking, the Akron airport terminal building played an important role in the enhancement, future development and improvement of both heavier-than-air and lighter-than-air aircraft up to and including WW II. During WW II the (8-86) Section 8 The Akron-Fulton International Airport Terminal Building is significant for representing the development of early commercial air development of commercial passenger planes received a major impetus in 1928 with the introduction of the 12-seat Ford Tri-motor Council authorized the Terminal design contract April 15, 1930. The architect selected to design the terminal building was Michel M. Konarski, AIA (1890-1970). Konarski designed schools for the Akron Board of Education from 1919 to 1938.

Of his seventeen Akron schools built, his later ones, North and Voris would use the Art Deco enriched terra cotta detailing incorporated throughout the National Register, began servicing regular passenger air routes in 1929. This service was increased when the Akron Air traffic in Akron, and it is an excellent and distinctive example of early airport terminal architecture and Art Deco Design.

In 1948 the US Navy designated the site as a Naval Air Station, NAS AKRON, for use by the Naval Reserves as a training facility. The station trained personnel who served in combat during the Korean War and the later Vietnam conflict. Two squadrons from NAS AKRON fought in both conflicts. Personnel also trained in submarine hunting from blimps. The Akron Municipal Air south, began operations in 1962.

Surprisingly, throughout the terminal's active service, little change has occurred to the building, its support structures or its site features, even after the building and immediate site transfered with 2.68 acres to private ownership in 1993. A sensitive adaptive reuse (see photos G, H & I) as a commercial restaurant, the building maintains its simple cubic forms, strong symmetrical form, cream brick construction and Art Deco terra cotta detailing. The building stands as a prime example of how Art Deco was used to air transportation and commercial traffic development in Akron, Ohio and the United States.
