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.

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.
