Description: Original description reads: "W.H. Harrison Tomb at North Bend." Harrison's tomb and monument on Mt. Nebo in North Bend contains the remains of William Henry Harrison, ninth president of the United States. An obelisk of Bedford limestone, with marble entranceway, rises 60 feet above the tomb. From the terrace visitors have a spectacular panorama of the Ohio River valley. Harrison, who was born in Virginia in 1773, spent most of his adult life in Ohio and Indiana.

Description: This photograph shows a factory in the Mahoning Valley region, specifically in Youngstown, Ohio. The railroad tracks are separated from the factory by the river, which is spanned by a bridge in the distance. The factory, which features a number of billowing smokestacks, was most likely part of the steel industry in the Youngstown area. After getting its start in steel in the 1880s, Youngstown was second only to Pittsburgh in terms of total steel production in the United States by the 1920s. Though hampered by labor conflicts and the Great Depression, the industry continued to grow through World War II. With the further growth of the automobile industry in the years following the war and its demand for steel, Youngstown's economy expanded even more. This economic growth slowed in the late 20th century, as the steel industry across the United States began to decline. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely 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.
