Good Times Bad Times

All the daylight scenes are done, now comes the night. The view is from the southeast corner of Market and Front looking northwest. Like many around here, I've had both good and bad times in that building. Like many folks around here, there were more bad than good. I'm not talking about the one that says, "Huntington". As far as details of The Mahoning County Courthouse goes, Charles H. Owsley strikes again. He designed many buildings around town, and this one is no exception. He designed it in 1910 in a second renaissance revival style. It's made of granite and marble. As for the other building, here's the rundown courtesy of  www.clevelandskyscrapers.com Huntington Building (formerly Mahoning National Bank) -1909 26 Market Street, Youngstown 13 Floors Detroit’s Albert Kahn designed this thirteen story building for the Mahoning National Bank in 1909. In the mid-1920s, the original five bays were doubled. The Mahoning National Bank Corporation organized in 1868 and was originally located across the Central Square from this site. In 1999, Sky Corporation purchased Mahoning National and changed the name to Sky Bank. The building retains much of the integrity of its classical exterior and also boasts a lavish interior with the original wood clad walls, coffered ceiling and lighting fixtures.
