Henry H. Stambaugh Auditorium

Henry H. Stambaugh, local industrialist and philanthropist, bequeathed to the people of Youngstown and the surrounding areas a magnificent structure on what was then the northernmost part of Youngstown.

Built at a cost of less than two million dollars, the Auditorium was intended to be used for the enjoyment, pleasure, entertainment and education of the community. Henry Stambaugh's will specified that control of the auditorium be in the hands of a Board of Trustees made up of local business leaders, a practice that continues to the present.
