Description: Dated October 6, 1936, this photograph shows the photosynthesis laboratory at Antioch College in Greene County, Ohio, in Yellow Springs. The photograph's caption reads "The photosynthesis laboratory C.F. Kettering Foundation. Here students have opportunity to take part in important scientific research into the nature of chlorophyll." Antioch College was founded in 1852 as the first nonsectarian, co-educational institution in the nation to offer the same educational opportunities to both men and women. It was also among the first to offer equal educational opportunities to African Americans. This photograph is one of the many visual materials 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: Reverse Reads "Gruen Watch Company. Cincinnati, Ohio." Located at 401 East McMillan Street in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Gruen Watchmaker's Guild factory building was known as Time Hill. Designed by Burroughs & Deeken in 1917 in the Tudor Revival style, it resembles an Swiss chalet. In the 1990's it was purchased, along with the Beau Brommell Tie Company building across the street, by the Union Institute & University and restored to it's original design. Much time and money was spent replacing the original Rookwood floor in the lobby, millwork and many other details, which had been removed by a previous owner, which won the project both the Cincinnati and the State of Ohio Design Preservation Awards. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. View on Ohio Memory.
