Description: Robert Roy Reeves Sr., was born on June 21, 1886, in Kansas City, Missouri. He attended Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, for two years. In 1908 he obtained his architecture degree from Carnegie Technical Institute where he was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. In 1911 he married Helen Gest; the couple had a son, Robert Roy Reeves Jr., who also became an architect. The elder Reeves worked in the Columbus, Ohio, office of Frank C. Packard from 1908 to 1916. He subsequently formed the partnership Miller and Reeves with Orlando C. Miller until 1928. After Miller left the firm it was known as Robert R. Reeves, Architect. Among the best known examples of Reeves's work is the YMCA at 65 South Fourth Street, a Georgian design which won the architect award in the Groswold Memorial Competition in 1923. The following year, Reeves was commissioned to construct a hospice in Montfaucon, France, as a war memorial for the Ohio 37th Division. From 1927 to 1932, Reeves designed a residential development on East Broad Street in Bexley, Ohio, known as Sessions Village, heavily inspired by the layout of historic European villages. The location, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, features cobblestone streets, a stone enclosure, and a "village center" with a traditional fountain. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Three 8" by 10" (20.32 by 25.4 cm) photographs show architectural renderings of the Neil Armstrong Air & Space Museum, which was opened to the public on July 20,1972. The first image is an architectural drawing of the site. Two others depict a scale model of the museum named in honor of Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon. The museum in Wapakoneta is managed by the Ohio Historical Society. Neil A. Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio on August 5, 1930. He received Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in aeronautical engineering from Purdue University. After serving as a naval aviator from 1949 to 1952, Armstrong joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1955. For the next 17 years he worked for NACA and its successor agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). As a research pilot at NASA's Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, he was a project pilot on many pioneering high-speed aircraft. Armstrong transferred to astronaut status in 1962 and was assigned as command pilot for the Gemini 8 mission, which was launched on March 16, 1966. As spacecraft commander for Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing mission, Armstrong gained the distinction of being the first man to land a craft on the moon and first to step on its surface.
