Description: Reverse reads: "Driveways under construction in Eden Park Cincinnati.Ohio" Located between Gilbert Avenue and Columbia Parkway (U.S.) and comprised of about 185 acres in the Mount Adams community of Cincinnati, Ohio, Eden Park was assembled by a series of purchases beginning in 1859. The name came, naturally, from the Garden of Eden and was given by Nicholas Longworth who owned a large tract which constitutes the main portion of the park. Eden Park is the home of the Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati Art Academy, the Navigation Monument, the Capitoline Wolf Statue, and the Irwin M. Krohn (Eden Park) Conservatory. Although this caption says the driveways are under construction, the concrete area seen in this photo would become the lake at Eden Park. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Original description reads: "Union Central Life & Carew Tower, Rear of Dixie Terminal" Carew Tower was constructed during the Great Depression and is currently the tallest building in Cincinnati. Standing 49 stories tall, the building was named for Joseph T. Carew, of the Mabley and Carew department store chain, which had previously operated on the site since 1877. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1994. Dixie Terminal, actually two buildings, was a major hub for railroad and streetcar services in Cincinnati. The smaller building, shown in this photograph, is where streetcars entered and left, until 1950 when streetcar service was discontinued. The larger, 10 story building was home to railroad ticket agencies, the Cincinnati Stock Exchange, administrative offices of the Cincinnati Street Railway Company, as well as commercial offices and shops.

Description: Bargain Basement remnant days at The F. & R. Lazarus Company, January 18, 1935. Between 1851 and 1965, the F & R Lazarus Company retail store dominated the trade and physical landscape of Columbus. The company rose from its early years as a men's clothier in a 20 x 40 foot room downtown, to its position by 1965 as a member of the largest department store chain, Federated Department Stores. Lazarus' growth reflects that of the capital city; from small beginnings through a "golden age" of downtown development, and eventually branching out into the surrounding countryside. In 2003, the Lazarus Company was incorporated with Macy's, a member of the Federated Department stores, and is no longer in existence. View on Ohio Memory.
