Does anyone remember The Doors Of Youngstown poster?  Is a copy still on display anywhere in the community?

This building was pictured on The Doors Of Youngstown poster.

Name the building and its location.
Does anyone know why the building declined?

I'm probably wrong, but wasn't that The Colonial House? on Market Street?

Towntalk, you are correct. That is the colonial house located on market street on Youngstowns Southside. I have a picture of the inside in its prime I will have to post. It was the most elegant upscale eatting facility in the 50s and 60s.


All I can say for the decline is location, isnt that why everything else on the southside declined? Like the uptown-- its an amazing creative idea (and they should bring the theatre back there!!), but due to location its hard. I cant tell you how many times Ive heard people saying their cars got broken into.
