Yum! Lots of gorgeous oldies, and only a few poster children for the stamp-out-cladding campaign.

 

The WAPA Theatre has at least one night of infamy in its past. I was there, but I ain't tellin'.

Some nice buildings, but they need to up the ante on facade restorations.

^ That _almost_ looked nice. What happened to the side?

The thing I've learned from this photo series is that Ohio has a wealth of nice small towns.  I'd heard of all these places when I lived there, but many of them are nicer than I'd thought they would be.  Is Ohio just fortunate to have so many or are most states likes this?

Actually, there arn't any EIFS there. The white is just painted brick. Notice the stone piers in the sidewalk; they looked like they once supported some kind of porch/portico thing that went over the sidewalk at one time. You can still see the scar on the building from where it would have been attached.

Well, if they want to experience all the benefits of America's #1 fastest growing building system, they need only dial 1-800-EIFS-YES! That number again, 1-800-EIFS-YES. Call now, and ask for kingfish at ext.427.

Here's a pic of the building from a year or two ago....

I would say that Ohio is more lucky than most...although there are a couple of other states that have a nice collection of smaller towns like this.  But like I said, I can't think of anywhere else that bests Ohio in this case.

As far as small, quaint towns with architectural urban variety, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, New England, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and surprisingly California have great examples and are perhaps the best.  Indiana is quite underrated as well.
