This map indicates that it used to be in the southwest quadrant of 4th Street and the tracks. It is now in the northeast quadrant. Note that the Ohio & Erie Canal ran just east of the Pennsy. The 2004 SPV Map identifies the plant along the bottom as Babcock & Wilcox. According to the SPV Map, ABC is Akron Barberton Cluster and it owns parts of the routes of the Erie, Akron & Barberton Belt Railroad, and B&O in this area.

Six years before the topo map, Van Street did not exist. 4th Street is near the middle of this excerpt.
