TownTalk,

YSU's Jones Hall now stands where the mansion in your photo used to be,
as well as the one that sat next to it at the corner of Lincoln and Wick Ave.

The mansion in that photo is the Henry C. Wick residence, which had an
address of  No. 416 Wick Avenue.  I've attached a photo from my web site,
along with a snippet of a an old Sanborn fire insurance map showing the
location of the mansion.

The second photo is the interior.  Too bad this mansion was not photographed
throughout before it was torn down.

In the Homes and Buildings section of the web site, there is a sort of
map-based "tour" of Wick Avenue as it was in the early 20th century,
you can hover your mouse over the buildings on the Sanborn map,
and if a little "tool tip" window pops up, that means there is a
photograph available for that building.  You can then click on that
spot on the map and a pop-up window will open, with a photo of
the building in it.

Can anyone tell me if this building is still standing?

In a past life it was the Youngstown College Business ans Secretarial School. I have absolutely no idea when the picture was taken.
