But I can't blame them. Who wants to pay 3 times as much for "property tax" and also put up with the crime in these rust belt towns? What a pity no one wants to buy one of these homes and fix it up.

A couple years ago, I started a web site dedicated to Youngstown and the historic homes and buildings there. I would love to have copies of all your photos of the mansions surrounding Wick Park... these homes fascinate me and I have galleries full of photos on my website that picture these homes and buildings.

Awesome story! Being born and raised in Youngstown I am familiar with these homes and the countless others in the same (or worse) shape. In fact, I recently made a short film that highlights my family's experience with the our home. Hopefully the link above works... Just came across this… Awesome story!

I also want to point out the fireplace is actually of an occupied residence. In our group a fellow Streetscaper, Lyndsay let us see the inside of her amazing house she rents on the North Side. That is her fireplace, yes, she sees that every day in her living room. I cannot begin to express how I envy her at this point. It is amazing!!! Thank you for the comments!

It is so sad to think of these beautiful homes decaying. I work in the mental health system and it's interesting to think that there are no such places for mentally ill people to live anymore. Very few "halfway houses" and so many people to house. At least it is nice to see some attention and respect paid to these grand old homes. What a nice story!
