It includes 49 contributing buildings and the park itself, built mostly between 1896 and 1928.","why_significant":"The district is a cohesive collection of late 19th and early 20th century houses, carriage houses, apartment buildings, churches and temples arranged around a historic park. It illustrates a 20-year span of popular architectural styles and the growth of the north side as a desirable address. It also holds the city's early 20th century Jewish congregations and several churches.","narrative":"Wick Park Historic District occupies Youngstown's north side and wraps around a 48-acre park given to the city in 1889. The park keeps its winding carriage path, lamp-lit walks, tennis courts and playgrounds. Around it stand 49 contributing buildings, mainly large single-family houses built between 1896 and 1915, along with carriage houses, four apartment buildings and four religious structures on Elm Street. Styles include Queen Anne, Neo-Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, Craftsman and English Tudor Revival. The Elm Street group includes Richard Brown Memorial Chapel, First Unitarian Church, Rodef Sholom Temple and the former Anshe Emeth temple, the last two designed by Morris Scheibel in Byzantine-influenced styles. Spacious lots, consistent setbacks and the shared relationship to the park unify the area. The district was listed for its architecture and for showing how the neighborhood developed as a desirable residential and institutional setting.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Barton E.
