YNDC Seeks Donations To Revitalize Historic Youngstown Home - Mahoning Matters


The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation is seeking donations to help revitalize a property as a Neighborhood Action Center.

The historic home at 1810 Volney Road was built by Emery McKelvey in 1927 and was later used for decades as a Carmelite monastery and worship center, led by Father Richard Madden, an organizer and spiritual leader, according to a news release.

The property was donated to YNDC in late 2019, and YNDC plans to improve parking and outdoor meeting space, upgrade mechanical systems and restore the first floor.
