Description: Reinforced concrete rental housing of Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company's Blackburn Plat in East Youngstown (Campbell) Ohio, 1918. This subdivision was named after Silas Blackburn, the man who owned the property until his death in 1913. The company constructed this housing for mill workers and their families following a strike in the early 20th century, and deliberately made the houses small to discourage the immigrant practice of taking in boarders. These apartments were rented at $15, $18, and $20 per month with water furnished, which constituted about a quarter of the average laborer's wage. By around 1920, well over 200 homes made up Blackburn Plat. The company sold this complex, as well as three others, in the 1940s. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This is a photo of a sandlot baseball game somewhere in Ohio. "Sandlot" is a term used to describe a makeshift field in order to play baseball, but can also be used to play other games like kickball or flag-football. These sandlots can be used to play sandlot league baseball games that are formed by neighborhood kids to play other neighborhoods. This photo shows a young man who just swung the bat at home plate. One other player seems to be reacting to the swing and there are many on-lookers watching the game. There is a large building in the background that could be a school. View on Ohio Memory.
