Wick Building

The Wick Building is a bank structure in downtown Youngstown designed in the Chicago School style with classical arches and solid materials throughout. The 13-story building displays the characteristic features of this architectural movement, with a bold facade reflecting its original purpose as a financial institution.

The structure was built in 1910 by D. H. Burnham & Company as one of the city's most modern commercial structures of that era. It held the position of tallest building in Youngstown until another tower surpassed it in 1929.

The building shows how important banking and commerce were to Youngstown when the city was thriving, and the spaces inside now serve both residents and shoppers after its recent rehabilitation.

The building sits at Federal Plaza West in downtown Youngstown and is easy to reach on foot. Today it offers residential units and ground-floor shops, so visitors can find multiple entrances and spaces to explore on its exterior and street level.

The structure earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and belongs to a group of seven early office buildings that form an important ensemble at Central Square. Together these structures document the city's commercial growth in the early 1900s.
