The Wick Building is a high rise structure and second tallest building in Youngstown, Ohio.[2] Constructed by D. H. Burnham & Company in 1910, the structure contains 13 floors and rises to a height of 184 feet. It is a classic example of Chicago School architecture, and contains a row of arches at the crown. The Wick Building was the tallest building in the city until the construction of Metropolitan Tower in 1929.
Work to convert the vacant tower into market rate apartments for Youngstown State University students could begin in late 2012.
