Downtown Elyria Razed For New Office Building
Elyria’s downtown business district advances with the razing of the old West home on Second Street. The historic house, last lived in by Mae Adams, is being torn down by L. M. Wells Co to make room for a modern office building. Interior woodwork once valued highly is now used for firewood as the city redefines its skyline.
