The M. O'Neil Company Building, Akron, Ohio

O’Neil’s

Michael O’Neil and his partner Isaac Dyas began serving Akron shoppers in 1877. Their first store was a dry goods store located at 114 East Market Street. In 1912, O’Neil sold his stores to the May Department Stores for $1million. The massive 800,000 square foot building in downtown Akron was constructed in 1927-28. The store operated in Akron nearly 60 years before closing its doors in 1989.
