It housed offices of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company and the Brier Hill Company, major concerns in the city's economy. It also contributes to the distinctive grouping of tall office buildings around the square.","narrative":"Standing at 44 Federal Plaza on the northeast corner of Central Square in Youngstown, this 12-story steel-frame office building was designed by architect Albert Kahn. It was first built in 1906 as an eight-story structure with segmental-arch windows and a cornice. Seven years later, in 1913, four more stories were added beneath a large cornice at the roof. Brick and terra cotta ornament sheathe the walls, and the basic pier articulation and window arrangement remain virtually intact, though the ground-story facades have been slightly altered. The building is named for an important Youngstown family. It housed offices of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company and the Brier Hill Company, both major concerns in the local economy. As one of the early office buildings on the square, it adds to the unusual arrangement of tall commercial towers around Central Square. It remains in office use and is in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Albert Kahn","architectural_style":"Commercial classic","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in excellent condition inside and out; still used as an office building, with ground-story facades slightly altered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.727897-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003151.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003151/02b0c9edb8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003151/02b0c9edb8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"BFDhD","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stambaugh_Bldg.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">BFDhD</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stambaugh_Bldg.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985818","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q124416664"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/mahoning-county/stambaugh-building-80003151/"}
