Wow!
I never thought I would see any old issues of the Vindicator on Google..
I just found an article from April 20, 1929 showcasing the opening of Parkway Tower
Apartments....now I know who the architect/engineer was..
Tons of them going back to the 1800's. :-* ;D ;)
Allan did you read the message I sent you with 6 links ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
Yepp!
I always wondered if anyone would ever make a historical archive of the Vindicator
available to the masses via the Internet - looks like Google worked something out
with them.
This is a BIG win for history buffs such as ourselves...I've wanted to get historical
info on Parkway Tower for a long time and now I have the exact date that the
building opened to the public -
April 20, 1929
Parkway was one of the first modern, fireproof high-rise buildings in Youngstown.
All of the hardwood floors were layed on top of concrete slab, and the walls and
ceilings are plaster/concrete mix over steel lathe. They built the place like a
Sherman Tank.
I heard that the building is going to be re-habbed and re-opened as student
housing.
Allan were those pictures from the Google Vindy archive? If so, how did you extract them?
