Back then, the blimp hanger was used mostly for old equipment storage & had a few small manufacturing areas in it (small as in 50' squared). There were a couple of small buildings on each side inside the hanger (it really is HUGE) and the second story of both had completely unused rooms that had the floors rotting away in them. The main hanger doors were completely inoperable when I worked there. One even had a building built over the door tracks, so they couldn't open unless they demolised that building.

In the Northeastern corner of the airport property you will find the word “AKRON” In large letters. That is near the finish line at the Derby Downs racetrack.

There is still a spare stringer sub assembly for the airships tied to the inside wall. It's 5 stories high. I work in that building.
