Description: This photograph is a view of the front exterior and one side of Our House Tavern, Gallipolis, Ohio, ca. 1960s-1970s. Much of the front exterior is covered with ivy or a similar plant. The three-story brick tavern, built in the Federal style, dates from 1819, when it was built by Henry Cushing and his sister Elizabeth in this Ohio River community. The tavern acquired its popular name because Henry Cushing invited Ohio River travelers to "come over to our house." The Cushing family operated the tavern until the 1860s. Our House was the center of the Gallipolis community’s social life for many years. It featured a taproom, dining room, ladies' drawing room, a ballroom, and accommodations for overnight guests. On Independence Day, 1820, the citizens of the town, after conducting appropriate ceremonies at the court house, paraded to Cushing’s Tavern with a military escort in full regalia. Our House was also the place where General Marquis de Lafayette, then on his triumphant tour of America, was entertained on Sunday, May 22, 1825, by the prominent citizens, an event which has lingered in the city’s memory so vividly that it is customarily marked with an annual event. During the Civil War the building was a receiving hospital. It later became a private residence and then a boarding house. Charles E. Holzer, Sr., M.D., and his wife, Alma Vomholt Holzer, purchased Our House in 1933, refurbished it, and donated it to the state of Ohio in 1944. View on Ohio Memory.

In 1899, plans were announced to replace the Gibson House in Cincinnati with a modern hotel. Finished in 1913, the new Hotel Gibson, later known as the Sheraton-Gibson Hotel, was a Neo-Classical style high rise building designed by architect Gustave W. Drach. Located in the Fountain Square area of downtown Cincinnati, the fifteen story, 1,000 room hotel offered guests an air-conditioned restaurant, a bowling alley, a barber shop, guest rooms and meeting rooms.

Description: The Republic Steel Corporation Collection (MSS 192) consists of 13,000 black and white photographic negatives, 2,000 color photographic negatives, and many 35 mm slides which document Republic Steel Corporation’s main production facilities and its subsidiaries, 1941-1975. This collection also includes images of social events such as company picnics, award banquets, and dances. Founded in 1899, Republic Iron and Steel Company was a steel production company based in Youngstown, Ohio, and the result of a consolidation of 34 steel mills across the United States including the Mahoning Valley’s Brown Bonnell Iron Company, Andrews Brothers and Company, and Mahoning Iron Company. From 1927-1937, Republic Iron and Steel Company expanded its reach by acquiring a number of other companies such as Trumbull Steel Company in Warren, Ohio, and Central Alloy Steel Corporation in Canton, Ohio. With its expansion, Republic Iron and Steel Company became the third largest steel producer in the United States behind United States Steel Corporation and Bethlehem Steel Company, and changed its name to Republic Steel Corporation to reflect its new status. After the outbreak of World War II in 1941, the Corporation’s production increased by 33%. This increased production continued into the 1950s and 1960s as the company continued to be one of the leading developers of steel production technology. Due to a myriad of factors including decreased demand for steel from automobile manufacturers and imported foreign steel, steel sales declined and in 1984 the Republic Steel Corporation was purchased by LTV Corporation, which led to the closure of the Youngstown plant. LTV filed for bankruptcy in December 2000. View on Ohio Memory.
