Youngstown is a former Pennsylvania Railroad station in Youngstown, Ohio. This station was preceded by another depot, which was condemned and demolished in 1949.[1] Construction of this station began in February 1948, and the completed building was dedicated on March 15, 1949.[2][3] The building was designed by Walker & Weeks, architects of Cleveland, Ohio and built by the Heller-Murray Company of Youngstown, Ohio at a cost of $350,000, or approximately $4.4 million in 2022 US dollars.[2][4] This station closed in 1965, with the termination of remaining commuter service between Youngstown and Euclid Avenue station in Cleveland.[5][6] Ownership of the Lordstown Secondary as well as the station passed from Penn Central to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad[citation needed], Conrail, and is currently owned by Norfolk Southern. The station itself was acquired by Phantom Fireworks and previously used as a firework showroom.[citation needed]
