Youngstown; Ohio was a rapidly growing industrial city in the early 20th century. In 1900; the city had a population of about 45;000; ten years later; it nearly doubled to 80;000; and by 1920 had reached 120;000. This phenomenal growth was reflected in a number of structures that dotted the citys skyline; including the Mahoning Bank Building; the Masonic Temple; and the plants of three major steel companies along the banks of the Mahoning River. Youngstown also had new places for its citizens to play during this period-Idora Park; Mill Creek Park; and Wick Park. And this was all preserved for the future through another early-20th century phenomenon-the postcard. Over 190 vintage postcards illustrate this book; which will bring the reader back to the era when Youngstown was rapidly becoming the third largest steel producer in the nation.
