It adds 152 contributing buildings, mostly houses built between 1900 and 1933.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the area is an intact early twentieth century middle- and upper-middle-class neighborhood with excellent examples of the period's major architectural styles and typical house types such as bungalows and American Foursquares. It is also significant for community planning and development, shown by its surviving grid of streets, uniform lots and setbacks. Several houses are attributed to the Youngstown firms Owsley and Boucherle and Boucherle and Son.","narrative":"This residential neighborhood in Youngstown, Ohio, extends the existing Wick Park Historic District eastward, between Elm Street and Wick Avenue and from Broadway Avenue south to Madison Avenue. It adds 152 contributing buildings, mainly single-family houses built between 1900 and 1933, along with a few duplexes, apartment buildings and garages. The homes show most major styles of the period, including Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, Shingle, Mission, Craftsman and Tudor Revival. The oldest house is the Adirondack-style Wick Log Cabin on Illinois Avenue. Some designs are attributed to the Youngstown firms Owsley and Boucherle and Boucherle and Son. Residents were middle- and upper-middle-class families, and their houses are less grand than those facing Wick Park itself. The original grid of streets, fairly uniform lots, consistent setbacks and tree lawns survive. The area was recognized for its architecture and its role in the community's planned development, with significance spanning 1888 to 1933.","period_of_significance":"1888-1933","architect_builder":"Charles H.
