Title: Republic Rubber Club House
Post by: Towntalk on September 20, 2010, 11:01:40 PM
Does anyone know if the old Republic Rubber Club House is still standing?

I just came across an article about the building when it was built, and from the description it was quite some building considering its use.

Thanks Rick.

Republic Rubber actually built the club house for their employees according to the article. Did the mills ever build club houses for their employees?

This was pretty much unique in the Youngstown District. Steel mills would usualy build houses in which they clubbed their employees. :)
