Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church (Akron, Ohio)

Greek immigrants in Akron, Ohio at the beginning of the 20th century resolved to apply for an Ohio charter for a Greek Orthodox Church. They appointed a five-member committee composed of Trifon Chrysanthopoulos, Marcos Condos, Andrew Konstand, Michael Barkoukies, George Marketos for that purpose, and a charter was granted on July 26, 1916. A decade later, in May, 1927, a building committee was formed to plan for a permanent home for the church. The present building at 129 South Union Street was dedicated in 1930.
