It has 129 contributing resources, including houses, outbuildings, park buildings, two bridges and the park.","why_significant":"The district is argued to be significant for its outstanding collection of architecturally significant early 20th century homes built for Youngstown's affluent population during its Golden Age. It illustrates suburban development patterns of the period and the northward growth of the city. It also reflects the prominence of local business people, many of them immigrants, and the work of local architects and builders.","narrative":"Crandall Park and Fifth Avenue form a residential district on Youngstown's north side, built mostly between 1910 and 1930, a period locals call the city's Golden Age. It includes 129 contributing resources: about 92 houses, 32 outbuildings, two park buildings, two concrete arch bridges and the roughly 50-acre wooded ravine park. Homes are typically two or two and a half stories on large landscaped lots with generous setbacks, many with slate or tile roofs. English Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival predominate, alongside Craftsman, Spanish Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival and Chateauesque examples. Local architects such as Charles F. Owsley, Barton E. Brooke, Fred C. Medicus, Cook and Canfield and Morris Scheibel designed some of the houses. Original residents included prosperous businessmen, many of them immigrants drawn to the north side's Jewish community. The district was listed for its architectural quality, its cohesive character and its reflection of early 20th century affluence and suburban planning in Youngstown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Charles F.
