Description: This photograph shows an aerial photograph of Warren, Ohio located in Trumbull County in northeastern Ohio. 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: "Church at Kinsman." The church depicted in the photo is currently known as the Kinsman Presbyterian Church, located in Kinsman, Ohio in Trumbull County. Organized in 1803 by Rev. Mr. Tate and Rev. Joseph Badger, the Hartford-Vernon-Kinsman Church served the communities of these neighboring areas until between 1823 and 1825, when separate churches were formed at Hartford and Gustavus. In 1831, Kinsman formed a separate church which came to be called the First United Congregational and Presbyterian Church. Plans were laid for a new building in 1831 through 1832, at a cost approaching four thousand dollars, with one fourth of the expenses paid by Mrs. Rebecca Kinsman. Worship services were first held in the new building in August 1833. Designed by master architect William Smith, the church was modeled after a church in New Haven, Connecticut called the Old North Church. View on Ohio Memory.
