Description: Reverse reads "Cary (or Corey or Carey) Home, College Hill, Cedar Avenue, near Cincinnati, Ohio." This is possibly the home of Samuel Fenton Cary, former Congressman for the United States House of Representative from Ohio's 2nd District, and Vice Presidential candidate in 1876. The home, built in 1840 and located at 1669 Cedar Ave in the College Hill community of Cincinnati, Ohio, is described as being a two and a half story square frame home with a wide front porch. The College Hill School is now located at this address, so more information is needed to verify that this is in fact Samuel Cary's residence. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This is an aerial view of Procter & Gamble's Ivorydale facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Procter & Gamble Company Plant, located on Spring Grove Avenue between Mill Creek and Township Avenue in the Cincinnati suburb of St. Bernard, originally covered eleven acres in a section called Ivorydale. It was, and still is, one of the largest soap manufacturing plants in the world. William Procter, a candlemaker, and James Gamble, a soapmaker, formed the company known as Procter & Gamble in 1837. The two men, immigrants from England and Ireland respectively, had settled earlier in Cincinnati and had married sisters. They decided to pool their resources to form their own company, formalizing the relationship on October 31, 1837. The original plant dates to ca. 1885 when Procter & Gamble expanded operations from their downtown location. The giant complex would eventually cover 243 acres with 120 buildings, including the 43-acre food plant built in 1911. During the 1930s, the buildings was described as being a maze of utilitarian gray stone buildings, interspersed with outdoor retorts and tanks, smokestacks and railroad tracks. The campus included its own fire station, dining rooms and recreational facilities. This photograph is one of the many visual materials collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers. The Federal Arts Program, a sector of the Works Progress Administration, included the Federal Writers’ Project, one of the primary goals of which was to complete the America Guide series, a series of guidebooks for each state which included state history, art, architecture, music, literature, and points of interest to the major cities and tours throughout the state. Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures. The Reorganization Act of 1939 consolidated the Works Progress Administration and other agencies into the Federal Works Administration, and the Federal Writers’ Project became the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio. The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions. The Ohio Guide Collection consists of 4,769 photographs collected for use in Ohio Guide and other publications of the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio from 1935-1939. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Caption reads: "Present Day Cin.O. Night Scenes." During the twentieth century, Cincinnati has experienced continued growth both culturally and economically. The city's population has remained relatively constant since the 1880s with its population in 2000 at 365,000 people. The diversity of operating corporations in Cincinnati has helped residents to weather economic downturns comparatively easily, as no single business employs more than three percent of the city's workforce. When hard times have hit the community, local residents have persevered. During the Great Depression, many people found employment through various government programs, including the Works Progress Administration and the Public Works Administration. It was also during the Great Depression when the Carew Tower, Cincinnati's tallest building, was built. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads: "Cinci., O., Sept 1937. McMicken Hall." McMicken Hall Built in 1895, McMicken Hall was the first structure erected on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. Up until 1910, there were only five buildings on campus, but as the university continued to grow, more buildings were needed. Three of those, McMicken Hall, Hanna Hall (1896) and Cunningham Hall housed the McMicken College of Liberal Arts. Designed by Hannaford & Sons of brick and stone and having three ivy-covered stories each, these modified Renaissance structures were joined with one another to form a single unit. The twin Hoffner lions that guard the entrance are copies of those at the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy, and were originally on Jacob Hoffner’s estate. When he died in 1894, he donated them to the City of Cincinnati, who in turn donated them to them to the university in 1904. The original McMicken Hall (along with Cunningham and Hanna Hall) was demolished in 1948 to make way for a new building. The new McMicken Hall was designed by Hake & Hake and cost $2 million to build. The stone lions Mick and Mack were preserved and returned to their posts at the entrance, and have been adopted by the College of Arts and Sciences Alumni Association at their mascot. University of Cincinnati In 1819, Cincinnati College and the Medical College of Ohio were founded in Cincinnati. Local benefactors such as Dr. Daniel Drake and William Lytle of the Lytle family suggested and funded these institutions. In 1870, the estate of Charles McMicken willed funds to the City of Cincinnati to establish the University of Cincinnati, absorbing Cincinnati College. While the Medical College of Ohio was loosely affiliated with UC from about 1896, it joined with a splinter medical school, Miami Medical College, to form the Ohio-Miami Medical Department of the University of Cincinnati in 1909. UC would again add another independent organization to its roster of colleges when it absorbed the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music in 1962. UC became a "municipally-sponsored, state-affiliated" institution in 1968. During this time, UC was the second-oldest and second-largest municipal university in the country. It became one of Ohio's state universities in 1977. View on Ohio Memory.
