It has a Tudor Revival parish house and connecting bridge added in 1928-1929.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the church as a notable example of English-based Jacobethan/Arts and Crafts church architecture by William Halsey Wood, later extended by Cram and Ferguson with a parish house and bridge. It also holds important stained glass, including Tiffany Studio windows, and reflects the tastes and Pittsburgh ties of Youngstown's wealthy industrial families.","narrative":"St. John's Episcopal Church occupies a 1.768-acre site at 323 Wick Avenue in Youngstown, home to a congregation founded in 1859. The church was built between 1897 and 1901 from rock-faced Pennsylvania limestone to designs by William Halsey Wood, in an English-based Jacobethan style. It has a Latin cross plan, a crenellated central tower, strap buttresses, lancet windows, a timber roof and slate-covered gables. In 1928-1929 the firm of Cram and Ferguson added the Edward L. Ford Memorial Parish House, a Tudor Revival building faced in limestone, linked to the church by a half-timber and stucco bridge over a porte-cochere. The church is significant for its architecture and for its stained glass, including Tiffany Studio windows installed from 1901 onward, which reflect the artistic tastes of Youngstown's prosperous industrial families. The exterior has changed little, and the building remains in religious use near Youngstown State University.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"William Halsey Wood (church); Cram and Ferguson (parish house and bridge)","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Jacobethan Revival, Tudor Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Congregation founded in 1859; the complex remains in religious use as a church.
