As promised, here is part 2 of my photo tour of downtown Steubenville, Ohio.
When we left off, we were proceeding east (towards the river) down Market Street and had reached 4th Street. Here's a satellite view of downtown Steubenville that may provide some orientation.
Across 4th Street from McCrory's is Richmond Brothers, a mens clothing store. The curved front is unique.
Across Market Street from Richmond Brothers is the Sinclair Building. This is how the building has looked as far back as I can remember (1960s). Recently, I learned that the hideous metallic band around floors 2-3 dated from a 1962 "renovation". A few years ago, I attended an NMRA clinic given by the owner of City Scene (an HO structures company) a few years back. He noted that many these "improvements" or "modernizations" to late 1800's vintage buildings were the result of stimulus money given out by the US government during the Great Depression. So many of the ugly changes to these classic buildings came about in the 1930s, not the 1950s. And they were "make work" types of things for businesses.
This poster shows the Sinclair Building as it was originally constructed. Someone has conveniently Photoshopped Dean Martin standing in the entrance. 
The cornice detail on the Sinclair Building is simply stunning!
Across 4th Street from the Sinclair Building is the First National Bank & Trust Building.
This photo (taken from Market Street) shows the Turnbull Serrati Building in the foreground, with the First National Bank & Trust behind it, and the Sinclair Building beyond it. In a photo I took back in the early 2000s, the Turnbull Serrati Building sported a rose colored stone facing with only stories 1 & 2 being "modernized" (hideously, too). In this photo, the upper stories appear to have been refinished in brick (still hideous).
This is taken on North 4th Street. That's the First National Bank & Trust Building to the left. Based on earlier photographs I've seen, that red brick building on the left used to be twice as wide or another building existed to the left. Something was knocked down to create a parking lot for the First National Bank. The center structure is the Gottman Building and bears a date of 1886.
So now we come to infamous Water Street, the red light district. Off camera to the left is the Jefferson County Prison (how appropriate 
). We are looking northeast. Front to back: Water Street, the River Route, Ohio River, and the West Virginia hills on the other side.
Finally, here is a photo of the Market Street Bridge taken from Water Street. This automobile bridge has a grate floor and is over 100 years old. At one point in its past, it carried trolley traffic as well.
Hope you enjoyed the photo tour!
As usual, your comments and questions are encouraged. I hope to have some more photos from this area soon.
