The Metropolitan Savings and Loan Building (Youngstown, Ohio)

USA / Ohio / Youngstown / Youngstown, Ohio / Federal Plaza West, 1
 office building, bank, high-rise, Art Deco (architecture), 1929_construction
One of the region’s finest Art Deco buildings, Morris W. Schiebel designed this eighteen-story skyscraper for the Central Savings and Loan in 1929. From the Egyptian-inspired entrance to the chevron patterned tiles at the top, this beautiful building is basically unaltered.

The building rises to a height of 224 feet. It has been the tallest building in the city since its completion in 1929, surpassing the Wick Building. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 along with six other early office buildings around Youngstown's Central Square.

The Metropolitan Savings and Loan (now Metropolitan Savings Bank) purchased the building in 1976 and renamed it Metropolitan Tower. The building is now known as First National Tower when First National acquired Metropolitan Bank.
