Phelps) in downtown Youngstown, Ohio, probably built about 1930.","why_significant":"The building is cited as an excellent small-scale example of Art Deco commercial design from about 1930. It illustrates the small businesses that shaped downtown Youngstown's shopping district and adds to the group of high-quality terra cotta buildings on West Federal Street. Its colorful, ornamented terra cotta and intact original features set it apart from other Art Deco buildings downtown.","narrative":"Built about 1930 on a corner in the heart of downtown Youngstown's shopping district, this two-story commercial building is faced in terra cotta with two-color trim in geometric and floral patterns. Its Art Deco character shows in the geometric second-story windows, the vertical two-color treatment between windows, and raised projections between bays. Decorative panels below the windows carry plant forms reflecting Art Nouveau influence. Inside, the original stairs to the upper offices survive with Carrara glass panels. The Peggy Ann clothing store occupied the ground floor from the early 1930s until about 1960, while the second floor housed offices. A rustic wood storefront was added later, but the original architecture remains intact behind the signboard. The building was recognized as an example of the small businesses that built downtown's commercial character and as one of the most ornamented and colorful Art Deco buildings in the area. It still holds shops and offices today.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Art Deco","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Described as in active use, with retail shops on the ground floor and offices upstairs; exterior condition good, with a later wood storefront added.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.447679-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/86001937.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001937/dde124e799-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86001937/dde124e799-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peggy_Ann_Building.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peggy_Ann_Building.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985834","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138568711"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/mahoning-county/peggy-ann-building-86001937/"}
