Description: This photograph from the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus is of 21-year-old foundry worker George M. Sexton. His formal attire suggests that the photograph was taken during his trial or sentencing. Sexton was found guilty of murder Otto Hoffman, a night watchman, in Sandusky, Ohio.The caption at the bottom reads: "No. 255, George M. Sexton of Erie County, Legally Electrocuted January 30 1948 for the Murder of Mr. Otto Hoffman." In 1885 the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus, Ohio, became the location for all executions, which previously took place in the various county seats. In 1896 the Ohio General Assembly mandated that electrocution replace hanging as the form of capital punishment. The Ohio Penitentiary regularly offered tours as well as souvenir photographs and postcards of the building and prisoners on death row. A total of 315 prisoners, both men and women, were executed in the electric chair known as “Old Sparky” between 1897 and 1963. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Caption from a similar photograph reads "Ohio Tour #19-A, State 46, District #1. "White House" - North Bristol. Unusual example of the Greek Revival influence in Pioneer architecture. Laminated pilasters on front of this house are distinctly unique." This home, built around 1830, is located on State Route 45 in North Bristol, Ohio. In 1936, the building was photographed and documented by Carl Waite of the Historic American Buildings Survey, and photographs and floor plans can be found with the Library of Congress. This house is one of many Greek Revival style homes built in the area. In 1936, the house was occupied by a Mr. Williams and his family. On July 10, 1800, the government of the Northwest Territory authorized the creation of Trumbull County. It originally was a portion of the Connecticut Western Reserve. The county was named in honor of Connecticut Governor Jonathan Trumbull. Trumbull County is located in northeastern Ohio and covers 616 square miles. The county's eastern border helps form the boundary between Ohio and Pennsylvania. View on Ohio Memory.
