Description: John A. Roebling suspension bridge, seen in the background, was completed in 1866 and connects Cincinnati, Ohio to Covington, Kentucky. The boat in this photo was part of Greene Line Steamers. The company was established in 1890 by Captain Gordon C. Greene and his wife, Captain Mary Greene. Based in Cincinnati, their steamships traveled primarily on the Ohio River, tranporting freight between the east and west. In the 1920's, as railroads took over most freight transport, Greene Line Steamers survived by building larger and more modern steamships, limiting their transport to shorter trade routes, and by pioneering the business of passenger pleasure cruises. The company is perhaps most notable for purchasing the 'Delta Queen' in 1946, the last original and operational sternwheel steamboat that is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. After Tom Greene, son of Gordon C. Greene, died unexpectedly in 1950, Greene Line Steamers came under hard financial times and eventually folded in 1958. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This aerial photograph shows Federal Plaza West, looking northwest in Youngstown, Ohio. Some of the visible buildings include the Home Savings and Loan Building with its colonial revival clock tower, McKelvey's Department Store, and Warner's. Barely visible in the background are smokestacks from some of Youngstown's mills. Cars from the 1930s can be seen on the road throughout the photograph. This photograph is one of the many visual resources collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers. The Federal Arts Program, a sector of the Works Progress Administration, included the Federal Writers’ Project, one of the primary goals of which was to complete the America Guide series, a series of guidebooks for each state which included state history, art, architecture, music, literature, and points of interest to the major cities and tours throughout the state. Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures. The Reorganization Act of 1939 consolidated the Works Progress Administration and other agencies into the Federal Works Administration, and the Federal Writers’ Project became the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio. The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions. The Ohio Guide Collection consists of 4,769 photographs collected for use in Ohio Guide and other publications of the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio from 1935-1939. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: In January and February of 1937, weeks of heavy rainfall caused the Ohio River to flood parts of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky, causing $500 million in property damages, and displacing and killing hundreds. By the end of January, the Ohio River measured 80 feet deep in Cincinnati, one of the areas most affected. President Franklin D. Roosevelt dispatched thousands of relief workers from the Works Progress Administration to rescue flood victims and restore affected cities. This photograph shows the Sohio gas station in Empire, Ohio, with the white mark on the door jam which marks the flood level. The mark is visible just right of center, between the farthest right window and the door of the building, near the top of the door frame. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers.
