The War Bond Building
This structure was built in 1942 and placed in Medina Square, where it was used as a location for the sale of war bonds during Word War II.
At the end of the war it was moved to city storage, then transferred to the property of Dr. Frederick Fri, a World War II Purple Heart recipient.
Medina General Hospital acquired the Fri property in 1997.
The War Bond Building was refurbished in 2000 by the Medina Jaycees in tribute to those at home and abroad who participated in the war effort.
