Description: Located 643 Oak St., in the northern suburbs, the 1910 Georgian revival building housed the Cincinnati Woman's Club. Among many organizations inspired by the 1892 Columbian Exposition, the Club was dedicated in 1894 "to high civic and artistic purposes." Its first home was the Perin building, NWC Fifth and Race Sts., downtown Cincinnati [demolished]. In the early part of the 20th century, the Club advocated for public health and child labor laws. From 1910 to 1966, the Club occupied the building here depicted; it was demolished to make way for Interstate 71, and the Club moved to larger quarters at 330 Lafayette Avenue in Clifton.

Description: This photograph depicts a blast furnace engine manufactured by the Ingersoll-Rand Company. The engine provided mechanical power to the blast furnace to allow it to operate. 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.
