First, there remained little land in the once favored area of East Market Street for development of new homes.

Second, the East Market Street residential section of the city became polluted with industrial smoke. The residential movement from East Akron to West Hill began in earnest in 1900 and continued steadily until about the 1930s. By the early 1950s, more than a few of the West Hill mansions had been abandoned by the families that owned them, and the structures had been converted into apartments, club houses, convalescent homes, funeral homes, and other commercial establishments.?
