The Ideal Company Department Store opened its doors in 1921 in Stark County, Ohio, and was closed by the late 1950s. While gazing up at the eight-story building, it’s clear to see the architect, Robert Powell, designed the building with retail in mind. The structure has since been converted into Massillon Center Apartments, making for a convenient location for residents to live in the heart of downtown Massillon.
