History Original building constructed in 1918 Opened in September 1918 Additions in 1924 and 1927 Named in honor of Nathan L. Glover (1842-1923) Nathan L. Glover was the first supervisor of music education in Akron Public Schools. In September 1872, Glover was hired as a vocal music teacher for the Akron schools. For years, he was the entire music department, going to each school and conducting a music class in each room about every two weeks. He organized annual music festivals and formed glee clubs and choruses in each high school. Later, he became supervisor of music, coordinating the work of a staff of itinerant music teachers. Glover retired as head of the music department for Akron Public Schools in 1921 after 49 years of service with the school system. He was succeeded by his daughter, Nellie Glover.
