Founders Day June 10, 1935!
In honor of Founders Day, here area few photos taken on a pilgrimage to Akron some years ago:
Photos: Dr Bob's home; The Williams home, Akron's first meeting place; The Gate Lodge on the Seiberling estate - Bill and Bob first met here; The Mayflower Hotel and 2 interior shots; King School, Akron meeting place after breaking with the Oxford Group (Original building was torn down and rebuilt).
Did you mean to say photo 2 is the Wilson's home rather than Williams?
ReplyDeleteNo, T. Henry and Clarace Willams were active in the Akron chapter of the Oxford Group, which the original Akron AA group was affiliated with until after the Big Book came out in 1939. They hosted meetings in this home which included Dr Bob and the Akron AA group as well as non-alcoholic OG members.
