High Street Photograph Collection, 1972-1975
Description: A man stands in front of a newspaper stand while a woman waits nearby to cross the street in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The man is holding a newspaper in his hand, and a large briefcase sits by his feet. Across the street, a restaurant and a shop that sells travel accessories are also visible in the photograph. The High Street Photograph Collection is comprised of over 400 photographs of High Street in Columbus, Ohio, taken in the early 1970s. These photographs were taken primarily at street level and document people and the built environment from the Pontifical College Josephinum on North High Street in Worthington through Clintonville, the University District and Short North, Downtown and South Columbus. The photographs were used in a television photo documentary that aired on WOSU called "High Street." Photographers that were involved in this project were Alfred Clarke, Carol Hibbs Kight, Darrell Muething, Clayton K. Lowe, and Julius Foris, Jr. View on Ohio Memory.
