It housed the offices of the New York Central and Erie Railroads and security and realty companies. It is named for an important Youngstown family and is regarded as a distinguished work from the office of Daniel Burnham & Co.","narrative":"Completed in 1907, the Wick Building is a 13-story steel-frame office tower at 34 Federal Plaza West in Youngstown, Ohio, one short block west of Central Square. Designed by the office of Daniel Burnham & Co., it is faced in brick, with horizontal cornices and stringcourses marking each story. The two upper stories are framed by an arcade of Florentine Romanesque arches. A roof cornice was taken down for safety reasons in 1972, but the design's basic integrity remains largely intact. The building was named for an important Youngstown family and was among the early office buildings around the square, housing offices of the New York Central and Erie Railroads along with security and realty companies. Its height and mass relate it to the other buildings on Central Square, and the four-story Federal Building, also by Burnham, stands directly to the west. It is one of several early office buildings in the downtown core recognized for architectural and economic importance.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Daniel Burnham (Daniel Burnham & Co.)","architectural_style":"Romanesque","criteria":[],"status_note":"Interior and exterior condition are listed as good; the roof cornice was removed for safety reasons in 1972, though the basic integrity of the design is described as hardly impaired.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:12.478317-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/80003153.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003153/c03fa7121d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80003153/c03fa7121d-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wick_Building_in_Youngstown.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wick_Building_in_Youngstown.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985814","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wick_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7998230"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/mahoning-county/wick-building-80003153/"}
