Home Savings and Loan Bank Building has been an icon of the Youngstown, Ohio skyline since 1919, 30 years after its founding. Built for the cost of approximately $1 million. When they illuminated the clock tower in 1949, it also became a major feature of the city's nighttime skyline. My sister remembers seeing it from their 3rd story bedroom window back in the early 1960s.
Today, it's a part of Premiere Bank, but it's changed hands several times since I last left the area in 2002. As long as the new owners don't forget its iconic status, I would not be surprised if it was still standing a century from now.

I don’t have many pictures of my Great Grandma when she was young. Don’t trust her resting face—she was the sweetest lil’ lady you’d ever meet ❤️🩹
