Description: Taken by photographer Louis Baus, this photographic reproduction shows Jacob Kuemmerle and Jacob Sylvan in a shoe shop in Zoar, Ohio. Led by Joseph Bimeler in 1817, a group of Lutheran separatists left the area of Germany known as Wurttemberg and eventually established the small community of Zoar in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. They would become known as the Society of Separatists of Zoar in 1819. After Bimeler's death in 1853, the unity of the village declined, and by 1898 the Zoarites disbanded the society. The remaining residents divided the property, and the community continued to prosper in Zoar. Louis Baus was a prominent photographer in Cleveland, Ohio, who began his career with studio work, but in 1911 became a staff writer for the "Cleveland Advocate, " a local newspaper that was later purchased by the "Cleveland Plain Dealer."

The William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, anchoring the western end of The Oval, is the Ohio State University’s main branch and single largest repository. Also called the Main Library, it was named after the university’s fifth president. The Thompson Library, designed by the Boston firm of Allen and Collens in the Italianate Renaissance Revival style was opened January 6, 1913. Its placement on the Oval was suggested by the Olmsted brothers who had designed New York City's Central Park. The library has been renovated or expanded three times since its original date of construction. The first addition, a massive extension of the original three-floor structure, the addition of a 10-story tower, as well as single story extensions to the north and south ends of the east entrance. This first renovation was completed on June 2, 1951. The second expansion added an unadorned modern extension to the west wing, finished on January 5, 1977. In July 2006, the library closed to begin the $108 million dollar renovation of the building started on January 10, 2007. The 2007-09 renovation included hazardous materials abatement, replacement and expansion of the 1977 addition, and restoration of the building's original east facade. The library reopened on August 3, 2009, and it was officially dedicated on September 24, 2009. View on Ohio Memory.
