the
Republic
Iron
and
Steel
Company
branch
library
,
circa
1920
. The
Republic
Iron
and
Steel
Company
was
organized
in
1899
,
establishing
its
headquarters
in
Chicago
,
Illinois
. In
1905
the
company
moved
its
headquarters
to
Pittsburgh
,
Pennsylvania
, and in
1911
transferred
them to
Youngstown
,
Ohio
. The
company
became
the
Republic
Steel
Corporation
in
1930
and in
1936
moved
to
Cleveland
,
Ohio
.
Until
the
decline
of the
steel
industry
in the
1970s
and
early
1980s
,
Republic
was a
vital
economic
force
in the
Mahoning
Valley
area
.
Nationally
, the
company
was a
mainstay
of
steel
production
in the
United
States
,
producing
steel
used
by the
American
automobile
,
defense
, and
air
industries
. In the
late
1970s
and
early
1980s
, at a
time
when
steel
companies
across
the
country
were
closing
plants
, the
company
substantially
reduced
its
operations
in the
vicinity
of
Youngstown
. In
1983
LTV
bought
Republic
Steel
,
making
the
former
company
the
nation's
second
largest
steel-making
concern
. The
Youngstown
Library
Association
was
established
in
1880
with a
collection
of
168
volumes
.
After
the
city
passed
a
levy
in
1891
, the
library
was
able
to
expand
and
opened
at the
corner
of
Market
and
Front
streets
. The
sale
of the
property
in
1907
,
along
with a
gift
of
$50,000
from
Andrew
Carnegie
,
allowed
the
library
to
relocate
to the
corner
of
Wick
and
Rayen
streets
. The
building
underwent
extensive
remodeling
in
1954
and
1995-1996
.
