Built in 1900, the Carlton Building is the oldest building in the central part of downtown Akron. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was the longtime home of Carlton’s Clothes, from which it got its name. The building’s facade was renovated in 2008, giving its Main St. presence a new, modern look.

The Carlton Building’s first floor is home to an open and modern retail space. The large, front windows allow for visibility on Main Street and creates lots of natural light inside the space. Fixtures can be easily moved to adapt the space for parties and other specialty events.

The first-floor build-out features a front retail space, a private space in the back for offices and shipping, and storage available in the basement area.

The building’s second floor has undergone a complete renovation and is the home of Pritt Entertainment Group, a creative agency, specializing in video production, animation, photography, graphic design and live events.
