I used to drive past that brick building all the time... how I miss it.

Yeah, for such an important building I can't believe that I can't find a pic of it anywhere.

i can find old run down buildings in the pictures under lisbon, but like i said, nothing really matches the description....

 

oh well, its only lisbon!

Oooh...oldest "BRICK" building.  Gotcha.

 

I was going to say...Centerville has buildings in the 1700's...though they are wooden...

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.

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.  Cool, huh?
