The Seckel Group received the coveted "2001 Great American Main Street" award for their North Main Street revitalization/Carrousel District project, presented by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in March of 2001. Mansfield was one of only two recipients in the State of Ohio!!
Fourth and Main. Corner shops and apartments overlooking the street. A Newstand, a Coney Island hot dog stand, a piece of Americana. Main Street once had the echoes of Trolley cars mixed with the laughter of children. A revitalized Carrousel spins with music-box like songs filling the warm summer air. | ||
Across the street from the City Newstand and the Coney Island Restaurant. Offices, a bank, specialty shops like no others stand tall into the sky. Parades of old, ticker tape littering the streetscape canyon. Peering down from the wrought-iron girded balcony showering joy unto the pedestrian traffic. | ||
Red brick facades & alternating striped awnings shade the tourists from the warm summer sun. Aroma from popcorn and hot dogs fill the air. Remembering times gone by. | ||
Window shopping on a Sunday afternoon. Travelling the stairs upward to an apartment. Living, working, playing. The downtown is once again vibrant and exciting. |
