Vindicator Building
Youngstown, OH
The Vindicator Building, aka the Youngstown Telegram Building, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building is apparently Art Deco and looks late 1930s or early 1940s to me. Does anyone know more about it?

Peggy Ann Building
Youngstown, OH
The Peggy Ann Building was built around 1930. I believe it was designed by Morris Scheibel. The Peggy Ann clothing store occupied the building from the early 1930s until around 1960. It now houses William Leonard's Extraordinary Gentlemen. For more, see this website.

former Isaly Dairy Plant
Youngstown, OH
The Isaly Dairy Plant was designed by Charles F. Owsley in the 1930s. The building has housed U-Haul since the 1970s. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Telephone Building
Newark, OH
The Telephone Building appears to be from the 1920s or 1930s.

House
Delphos, OH		 Sparta Grille & Newark Coin Exchange
Newark, OH
This Delphos house is a mix of styles but it appears to be from the Art Deco era. It could also be a conventional older house updated with Art Deco trim and the addition of the two round structures at the building's sides. Does anyone know the history of this place?

The Sparta Grille and the Newark Coin Exchange are next door neighbors. These businesses occupy what appear to be older buildings which were updated in the 1930s or so. These businesses have typical Art Deco storefront elements: Vitrolite tile, glass block, and terrazzo entrances. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Kirby's Flowers & Gifts
Delphos, OH		 IAB Club Building
Sandusky, OH
The Kirby's Flowers & Gifts building is also faced with vitrolite. The building was constructed in 1938. I believe Kirby's is the original tenant.

The IAB Club Building housed the Italian American Beneficial Club when it was built in 1941. It recently housed the Cheap Seats sports bar. The building appeared to be vacant when this photo was taken in 2012.

Fire Department and Municipal Building
Sidney, OH
This combination Fire Department and Municipal Building were built in 1939.

North High School
Akron, OH
North High School was built from 1931-1955. In addition to these Art Deco details, there are later Moderne features as well. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.
