This 75 to 100 year-old brick structure was at one time a market that serves Akron and surrounding communities. It now serves as a meeting place for youth groups in the town of Akron, which has a population of 528.

The Boys and Girls Club is located on a corner in the most civic or urban area of Akron, with the Fire station and City Hall directly across the street. By Akron standards this is a very busy street with pedestrian and vehicular traffic fluctuating from moderate to heavy depending on the time of day. It is adjacent to many residential zones of Akron. The elementary school has 256, K-6 students and is just blocks away. The Akron Boys and Girls Club is an ideal centralized location for the community and youth to meet. The town utilizes this facility and the Hale Empowerment and Revitalization Organization (H.E.R.O) has held a children’s art workshop there.

Accommodation consists of a large recreation space, office, restroom, and library computer laboratory. The garden/ play space behind the club utilizes “shotcreted” wax impregnated cardboard bales to create an enclosure.
