Dead Mall - Fort Steuben Mall - Steubenville, OH

Touring this 70s mall that is hanging on by a thread, buckling floors and cracked walls are commonplace in this building. Overall the mall is pretty dull with very few tenants, but still has some classic aesthetics that make it worth seeing!

This place was awesome in the late 80's - mid 90's..beautiful water-fountain in the center..

Trust me it’s even worse now it’s just filled with nothing but a few weed stores

I grew up in Ohio and used to frequent the Steubenville mall. I have a fond memory of watching somebody die in the radio space right next to the entrance. Some dude was freaking out about a girl being dead and called the ambulance. Pretty weird

Mall guts looking like the walk to the nasty locker rooms in an old high school… 😂

The opening part of the video driving under Stratton power plant I worked there back in the late 90's.

I remember all the times I had in this mall when I was younger. Man, did this mall go downhill FAST.

I see the floor of the mall still sinking! I remember the floor around att had to have multiple cones so people would not trip. I see the post barriers there in the vid.

Thank you for this. I grew up in the area too, and loved seeing this. Still love home, no matter what.

Lived off sunset and cunningham for a small while - as "uptown" as one can live (further u get from downtown nicer it is). I have MANY fond memories of this mall as a child, including visiting it to see my cousin (RIP) who worked at the diamond store there. I remember they had an arcade, titled "tilt" i believe? that while subpar to what i had seen growing up in CA was still sufficient enough to grant me a great time. Sadly what was once the city's most notorious landmark (population wise - i am aware of "fort steuben") has been a ghost town for some time now. Living there in 2013 i only ever visited that general mall area for the library and the walmart. I learned how much of an effect the population of a city has on our quality of life first hand by residing in the ville the short time i lived there.

When the Steel Mills closed, it took a big chunk out of the local economy. I still have hope though, because the Ohio Valley's greatest asset is it's hard working people who can outperform anyone else in this country!

Your camera work, transitions, and music are great.

Grew up in Steubenville from 1998 - 2009 till I moved to NYC

In the 90s and up to 2004 this mall still had it going

[kenschreiner]

Floor went bye bye in 1999 and carpet was put in in 2002

Not worth living there now. Steubenville is a ghost town. Not like the 80s when I grew up there from 16 til I decided to leave for good. My grandmother loved Steubenville Big Red. My school will always be Biloxi.

GameStop and American Cookie Company is the only good stuff left
