Description: A class photograph of Burnt House Normal School. Normal schools were created to train high school graduates to become teachers and establish teaching "norms," or standards. Burnt House is a small area in Ritchie County, West Virginia. A sign held by the students identifies the year as 1908. This photograph was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was taken in southeastern Ohio or central West Virginia. Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Albert J. Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio Historical Center. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The Henry County Courthouse was built in 1880-1882 by architect David Gibbs in the Second Empire style. In the 1990s it underwent an extensive $4 million restoration project. The courthouse sits on land that was once part of the "Black Swamp," a region in northwest Ohio that was once so wet that it was virtually inhabitable. Once pioneers settled the area and tilled the land in order to aerate the soil, the land became fertile and the population began to increase. This image shows the front and side facades of the building. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This image of the First Congregational Church in Tallmadge, Ohio, was among the photographs produced by the Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) between 1935 and 1943. The First Congregational Church of Tallmadge was established by Reverend David Bacon in 1809. For the first several years, the congregation's services were held in Reverend Bacon's cabin. In 1821 local landowners donated timber to build this church, designed and constructed by one of Ohio's first architects, Col. Lemuel Porter. Dedicated on September 8, 1825, the structure is considered to be a perfect example of the pure Connecticut-type of Federal architecture. The Historic Tallmadge Church is currently maintained by the Ohio Historical Society. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph depicts a blast furnace car dumper. Car dumpers were used to quickly empty rail cars of the iron ore, coal or coke, and limestone that supply the furnace. Blast furnaces burn alternating layers of iron ore and coke (as fuel) by forcing in large amounts of air, forming pig iron. This is the first step of the steelmaking process. This photograph belongs to the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company Audiovisual Archives, so it likely depicts a Youngstown company plant. View on Ohio Memory.
