Ross Berry), was a self trained African American architect who began construction on the building in 1877. Berry specialized in brick masonry beginning his career as a brick layer at the age of 16. Berry’s industrious career would include owning and operating many brick yards that produced his signature reddish orange bricks that would be used in over 60 of his building projects and brick road projects in Youngstown and neighboring towns in Pennsylvania. Many of the classic details from the past are still featured in the building’s solid massing with large windows and tall ceilings that give it a spacious open feel.
