Warren is a city in and the county seat of Trumbull County, in northeastern Ohio, approximately 14 miles northwest of Youngstown and 56 miles southeast of Cleveland. Ephraim Quinby founded Warren in 1798, on 441 acres of land that he purchased from the Connecticut Land Company, as part of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The town was the county seat of the Reserve, then became the Trumbull County seat in 1801. In 1833, Warren contained county buildings, two printing offices, a bank, five mercantile stores, and about 600 inhabitants. It had a population of 1,600 in 1846 and became an important center of trade for farmers living in the surrounding countryside during the latter decades of the nineteenth century. In 1888, four railroads connected the community with other parts of Ohio. Warren continued to grow in the twentieth century and remains an important trading and manufacturing center. Many examples of late 19th and early 20th century architectural styles still stand in downtown.
I found images of the large building on this card, labeled “City
Hall, Monumental Park” but I could not find any other information on either. I am just assuming that what it is. The card was published by “Acmegraph Co.”
who was a publisher in Chicago that offered national view-cards from 1908 and 1918. It is in good condition with minor wear and a
clean, clear image with a caption of “Bird’s Eye View West, Warren O.”. The card is not posted, and the reverse is
clean.
