March 29, 200718 yr This is a Windows Live Local link to a view of Downtown Libson. Stevie's building is to the West (that's to the left) of the Columbiana County Courthouse, which you can see in the middle of the pic. Its been wrapped in black plastic for several months. http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=40.772181~-80.768668&style=a&lvl=17&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000 The story doesn't mention this, but the owner told me that this building also once house a law office for Edwin Stanton, who was President Lincoln's Secretary of War.
