Description: Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company's Blackburn Plat in East Youngstown (Campbell), Ohio, 1918. The company constructed this housing for mill workers and their families following a strike in the early 20th century, and deliberately made the houses small to discourage the immigrant practice of taking in boarders.

By around 1920, well over 200 homes made up Blackburn Plat. The company sold this complex, as well as three others, in the 1940s. View on Ohio Memory.
