LCBD Porch Icon
The Little Cities of Black Diamonds is a micro-region in Southeast Ohio and the locus for my research. This area prospered greatly during the coal boom from the mid 19th century until its crash in the early 20th century.
The buildings in this micro-region have second story porches. These porches, and their decay, exemplify both the historical prosperity and the subsequent economic decline of the last 80 years.
Below is an iconic sketch based on these unique architectural elements.
