Description: Caption reads: Horse Collar and Leather Manufacturers and J. Roberts & Co. –Machine Works. Dayton Ohio 1904." Ohio underwent tremendous change in the late nineteenth century. While Ohio had boasted one of the most diverse economies in the United States of America before the Civil War, agriculture still dominated. During the late 1800s, industrialization erupted in the state. Thousands of people moved into Ohio's cities, seeking jobs in the new industries. These people included former residents of Ohio's rural communities, people from within the United States, and also foreigners. Ohio's population grew quickly, from just over 2.3 million residents in 1860 to approximately 4.2 million people. The state's cities swelled, initially causing numerous problems for local governments as they tried to meet the needs of the new residents. Dayton was heavily involved in Ohio's early industrialization. By the late 1800s, the community had become the center of many types of industry, including publishing businesses and a number of companies who manufactured farm implements . View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Cincinnati Red Stockings, 1869 team photograph. This photomontage consists of ten oval-shaped portraits of individual team members. Nine captioned photos of players are arranged around a larger portrait of team captain Harry Wright. The men are dressed in business or formal attire. The date "1869" is printed at center bottom; below it is the credit line "From original photos taken at the time in Cincinnati, Ohio." The 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings made history not only as the most dominant baseball club of its time but also as the first band of professional ballplayers. Professional baseball originated in Cincinnati. The first game played by a team in which all players were professionals and received pay occurred on June 1, 1869, when the Cincinnati Red Stockings defeated the Mansfield Independents, an amateur club. The Red Stockings won by a score of 48-14. The salary for the entire Cincinnati team during the 1869 season was eleven thousand dollars. The Red Stockings went on to win 130 consecutive games during 1869 and early 1870, not losing a game until June 14, 1870. Baseball historians challenge the number of games because a majority of them involved amateur clubs losing to the Red Stockings. Nevertheless, the club had fifty-seven straight victories against other highly-ranked and professional or semi-professional teams. Cincinnati's decision to pay players proved to be a success, and other cities soon began establishing professional clubs throughout America. The Red Stockings team was a leading contender during its first several decades of existence. In 1876 the team, now known as the Cincinnati Reds, became one of the original members of the newly formed National League, but this organization expelled the club in 1880 for selling beer at the team's games. The Reds returned to the National League after a decade's absence. Baseball became one of Cincinnati's most popular entertainment venues, aided in part by the team's World Series titles in 1919 and 1940. Cincinnati's "Big Red Machine," featuring players such as Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, and Pete Rose, dominated baseball in the 1970s, picking up additional titles in 1975 and 1976. A surprise wire-to-wire title again in 1990 strengthened the Reds' legacy and helped ensure future generations of Reds fans. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads: "Cinci., O., Sept. 1937, Schmidlapp Home." Horace Schmidlapp and Jean Maxwell Schmidlapp’s home, located at 10 Grandin Lane in the Hyde Park community of Cincinnati, Ohio was better known as Ca Sole. Horace was the son of Cincinnati's well known businessman, Jacob G. Schmidlapp, known best for founding what is now part of Fifth Third Bank. Jean Maxwell was the daughter of lawyer Lawrence Maxwell, who served as President Grover Cleveland's Solicitor General. Set in the rolling hills of East Walnut Hills, near the Cincinnati Country Club and close to downtown, the home enjoyed views of the Little Miami River. This Italianate style home was built by Grosvenor Atterbury and by the time it was completed in 1927, the couple had separated. The two storied residence was made of buff colored stone with pink and gray terracotta tile roof, with most of the main rooms facing the rear to take of advantage of the view. The windows were trimmed with peacock blue with details in pink and gray brick. Atterbury collaborated with landscape architects Ferruccio Vitale, Alfred Geiffert Jr. and Umberto Innocenti to create beautifully landscaped terraced gardens and a hexagon shaped walled garden with intricate wrought iron gates and arched openings meant to frame the landscape below. The entrance hall was done in light red brick with wood beamed ceilings and wrought iron light fixtures. Glass lantern slides were painted by artist Gladys Pratt. Much of the exterior and entrance details were incorporated into the interior of the rest of the house, to add cohesion to the design. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph of the door of the Schilder House in Chillicothe, Ohio. The entrance to the home features a fanlight above French doors with a rounded arch surrounding the doorway. The two-story brick house sits at the northeast corner of West 4th St and South Walnut Street. This house was originally called the Eichelberner-Wood House. Jacob Eichelberner started to build the house in 1826, but soon ran out of money and could not complete it. It remained unfinished for 10 years until the house was purchased by John Wood who completed construction. John and Ellen (Strong) Wood were the fourth grandparents of the late Princess Diana of Wales. Martin Schilder moved into the house around 1882. The Schilder family owned and operated a successful produce business in Chillicothe. The home may also be referred to as the Ware House according to a notation on a similar photograph.

Description: Eisenbarth Henderson Floating Theatre Band on deck. Hary High is seated at right front, with Norman Hanley in back row,second from right; others not yet identified. Ellsworth Eugene Eisenbarth was born October 22, 1864, in Ironton, Ohio. The family later moved to Wetzel County, West Virginia. By 1889, Eisenbarth was traveling the mid-Atlantic states in "The Oregon Indian Medicine Show" which featured such entertainment as real cowboys and “Indians.” He next bought a floating store, which he refitted as a showboat and christened "The Eisenbarth Wild West & Floating Opera." The endeavor lasted from 1891 to 1895. By the late 1890s, Eisenbarth and his wife Julia had founded "The Eisenbarth & Henderson Mammoth and Combined Uncle Tom’s Cabin Company" complete with calliope, band and orchestra, which also traveled throughout the middle states by rail. In February of 1900, E.E. and Julia converted a glass barge named the E.V. Poke No. 2 into "The Eisenbarth-Henderson Floating Theatre, Temple of Amusement." This showboat and its successor ("The Eisenbarth-Henderson Floating Theatre-The New Great Modern Temple of Amusement")were devoted to bringing Shakespearean plays and other dramas, such as “Human Hearts” to the waterways. Eisenbarth also worked with a traveling company of players, perhaps to remain off the rivers during the winter months. The Temple cleared more money than almost any other boat on the Ohio River, even though it only played four nights a week and never on Sunday. Julia Eisenbarth died on November 30, 1906, and E.E. remarried in 1908 to Jennie Salina Brown. In 1909, he presented his last show on a riverboat, “The Castle.” He sold The Temple showboat to the Needham-Steiner Amusement Company that year, and although he made bids on other boats, these proved unsuccessful and The Temple ended up being his last showboat. E. E. Eisenbarth died on July 07, 1925 and was buried in Williams Cemetery in New Martinsville, West Virginia. View on Ohio Memory.
