[CortlandGirl79]

Ok, so last year i promised Boardmanite and SWB that i would do a photo tour of Warren. I finally got around to it this past Sunday. Unfortunately it was a cloudy, drizzly 60 degree day, but i think the photos turned out alright.....Enjoy!

BTW...........here are some links w/info on Warren in case anyone cares: City of Warren, Ohio Warren, Ohio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kinsman House on Mahoning Ave. Behind it is the Trumbull County Visitors Bureau

The house was commissioned by Isaac Ladd on land given by Gen. Simon Perkins to his daughter Olive and her husband, Frederick Kinsman.

According to "An Historic Walk Along Mahoning Avenue," compiled by Grace C. Allison and published by the Fine Arts Council of Trumbull County, the house during the 1930s was used as a branch of Hiram College; in 1940 it became a courthouse annex.

The house was restored during the 1970s with an Ohio grant for historical renovation. It was designated a state and national historic landmark in 1971. Alterations made over the years did not disturb historic aspects of the home.

Warren, Ohio



Few organizations in our community or state are older. Thomas Jefferson was serving his first term as President of the United States at the time of its founding. The church traces its beginnings to the earliest days of settlement of the Connecticut Western Reserve. Four years after the first settlers began building their cabins along the Mahoning River, the church was constituted by the famous missionary the Rev. Joseph Badger who was serving the Connecticut Missionary Society of the Congregational Church. Badger's diary states: ". . . November 19, 1803, Saturday - constituted a small church at Warren with the following persons by name: Elder William Prior and Betsey his wife, Thomas Ross and Rosalinda his wife, Sarah Davis and Sarah Lane." The Rev. Badger was assisted at the first Holy Communion by the Rev. Tait of Mercer, Pennsylvania, and the Rev. William Wick of Youngstown

The Warren City Amphitheater over looking the Mahoning River- In the summer they put on concerts, free movies and community activities here.

The Trumbull County Courthouse

Construction on the courthouse was begun in 1895 and was completed in 1897. It was designed in the Richardsonian-Romanesque style of architecture and features a copper roof, four statues of justice and a four-sided clock tower. It was originally built to serve as the county seat for all Ohio’s Western Reserve. It is located in Courthouse Square and fronted at 160 High Street NW, Warren, OH 44481.

This park, which is on the east bank of the Mahoning River and includes a reconstructed log cabin built on the site of Warren's first schoolhouse (circa 1804), commemorates the sacrifices of local citizens in military service.

Nice pictures. I look forward to seeing more.

If you're interested, I'd suggest getting a picture of the more interesting schools before they're demolished. (It's really a shame that they're going to demolish Garfield Elem. But, at least a small portion of Warren G. Harding H.S. will be saved.)

Nice pics Cort...

Here's some pics of the next street over in both directions from where yours were taken. I wish these were in color to give them more "depth".

I have been in many of these places and can tell you who used to live in some of the houses pictured too. Crazy...

Cool photo tour! I really liked the cloudy, gray, rainy skies. That's how I remember NE Ohio! haha I saw downtown Warren for the first time by making a wrong turn a couple years ago and I was really surprised. It is quite nice. Good job on the pictures! I'm glad you included all the historical markers.
