They explain that 23 properties were demolished by Youngstown State University in 1979, about half the district's structures. The Ohio preservation office therefore recommended removing the Bryson Street area and drawing a new boundary around the surviving core.","narrative":"Wick Avenue Historic District in Youngstown, Ohio, was listed in 1974 and lost much of its fabric five years later. In the fall of 1979, Youngstown State University demolished 23 properties, roughly half the structures in the district, mostly on Bryson and Spring Streets. The state historic preservation officer then recommended shrinking the district by removing the properties facing Bryson and drawing a new western boundary south of that street. The revised boundary, covering about 18 acres, runs from West Spring Street near the Myron Arms House northeast along the Wick Avenue lots to the Route 422 expressway marginal drive, then around Wick Oval. Buildings shown within the reduced area include the Myron Arms House, the Romanian Orthodox Church in the former C. D. Arms house, the Mahoning Valley Historical Society in the W. Arms House, the George D. Wick House and the Porter Pollock House. The file lacks the original nomination form, photographs and map.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Twenty-three properties were demolished in fall 1979, and the boundary was reduced to the remaining core.
