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.

Description: This photo shows the construction site of the Ohio State Office Building, Columbus, Ohio, ca. 1930-1933. Construction is in its very early stages. The corner of a large hole appears in the center far right of the photograph, which suggests that excavation of the site has begun. Various pieces of equipment are scattered around the site. Parked vehicles are visible, as are human figures. The soil surface is uneven and rutted. The Town Street Bridge appears in the background. Vehicles are clustered near the east end of the bridge. Groundbreaking for the Ohio State Office Building, 65 South Front Street, took place on November 19, 1929. Construction began in October 1930, and the cornerstone was laid on May 16, 1931. An explosion damaged the structure on April 14, 1932, but the building eventually opened on March 27, 1933.The 14-story building was designed by architect Harry Hake, Frank Bail, and Alfred Hahn. The building later became the Ohio Judicial Center. In 2011 the state Supreme Court named the center in honor of the late Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, who was the second-longest-serving chief justice in state history at the time of his death in April 2010. The Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center is considered an excellent example of architecture from the Art Deco period. View on Ohio Memory.

He was a popular congressman prior to his election to governor. As governor, he helped to reduce state debt by enacting a new and broader tax system. In response to labor tension during his administration, McKinley established a state board of arbitration to resolve disputes and called out the National Guard to resolve a major coal strike in 1894.

Description: This is a portrait of a seated couple with two young children, and a dog at their feet. A marking on the negative reads: "J.R. Cameron, Calcutta." 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.

Description: An image of the facade of St. John's Episcopal Church of Worthington in Worthington, Ohio. St. John's was founded in 1804 by a group of settlers from Connecticut, led by James Kilborne, an Episcopal Deacon and the founder of the community of Worthington. St. John's was the first Episcopal church west of the Alleghenies. The church building pictured was completed in 1831 and was built entirely by the congregation, using stone from a quarry near the Olentangy River for the exterior and native Ohio hardwoods for the interior. The first person to be buried in the cemetery behind the church was Captain Abner Pinny (in 1804), who served in the American Revolution. The church was remolded in 1927, a parish house was added in 1927, and an education building was added in 1962. The church and the cemetery are listed on the National Registrar of Historic Places.
