While I was home this weekend I was able to snap a few pictures around Youngstown. Two buildings in particular are worth sharing. The first is the new music hall next to Powers Auditorium. The Beecher Flad Pavilion is comprised of a new 600-seat auditorium for orchestra, brass, and choral performances; new kitchen facilities, new dressing rooms, expanded loading docks, and soundproofing so that Powers and the new auditorium can be used simultaneously.
The second building is slated for demolition soon. The Youngstown Sheet and Tube office building is located on Martin Luther King near Division Street. The city currently has control of the building, which it obtained in March 2006. This photo was taken from the new ramp from Division Street ramp onto Robinwood. I think so, anyway. No online map has been updated to show the new streets.

My dad tells me that the Sheet and Tube building, long after it closed the first time, briefly housed a nightclub on the first floor.
It will be kind of sad for that building to be gone.
Ytownsteelman, I agree about saving the building marker. It would be great to see it displayed at the Museum of Labor and Industry.
I worked in that building from 2004-2006. The woodwork and history was amazing. The nightclub note is correct, black and purple walls.
