The Akron Plan takes its name from the city of the construction's first use, Akron, Ohio, which was the site where the First Methodist Episcopal Church, designed by Lewis Miller, Walter Blythe, and Jacob Snyder (1866-1870) was created. The Akron Plan Sunday school styles is easily adapted into a variety of other architectural and decorative styles -- Gothic, much like North Presbyterian, but also Romanesque, Colonial, and Neoclassical Revivals. The arrangement of the Sunday school rooms around the sanctuary, and the way that the rooms express on the exterior of the build, stand to signify the church’s primary concern with church education and community. | Source: Hendrick, Ellwood, 1861-1930, Lewis Miller: a Biographical Essay, New York: G.P.
