Description: Dated ca. 1930-1939, this photograph shows the home of Caleb and Mary Inglish, located at 139 W 2nd St., Chillicothe, Ohio, in Ross County. According to the Ohio Historic Inventory, the original house was built around 1800. Another source placed the interior fine Federal cabinetwork to ca. 1825-1830. Also according to the Ohio Historic Inventory, the Greek Revival front section was added in 1830. Another source, however, indicates this second section was added sometime after Caleb and Mary Inglish Allen acquired the house in 1845. The initials C.A. dated 1864 are inscribed in a ladder in the attic. The "legend" behind this ladder and the rooftop it leads to is that it was a lookout for the Underground Railway. In 1919, Caleb and Mary's daughter, Mary Etta Allen Trimble, inherited the house. Her daughter, Gertrude Allen, inherited the home in 1930. She added the section in your photo. Based on oral history, this section was probably added in the late 1930s. Rhea Allen Mettler inherited the house in 1958 after Gertrude Allen passed. When Rhea Allen Mettler passed, the home was sold to William and Meng in 1968. This house passed within family through five generations from the 1830s to 1968. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph shows the east side entrance to the State Office Building (now the Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center), Columbus, Ohio. Construction of the building began in 1930 and was completed in 1933. The 14-story, white marble structure was designed by Cincinnati architect Harry Hake and serves as a classic example of the Art Moderne style. The interior of the building includes public spaces decorated with murals, mosaics and bas-reliefs that tell the history of Ohio and its industries. The building was later known as the Ohio Judicial Center until 2011, when the state Supreme Court named the center in honor of the late Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, who was the second-longest-serving chief justice in state history at the time of his death in April 2010.

Description: Two photographs document the Fayette County courthouse in Washington Court House, Ohio. The second photograph is a close-up view of the wooden entrance doors, which are marked by bullet holes, the result of an 1894 riot following the trial of William Dolby, a biracial man accused of raping a white woman. The photographs measure 8" x 10" (20.32 x 25.4 cm). The Eclectic-style Fayette County courthouse was designed by architect David W. Gibbs and was completed in 1885. Three murals in the lobby outside the courtroom were painted by Archibald Willard, who painted the Spirit of '76. The first mural, Spirit of the U. S. Mail depicts a winged woman holding a bundle of letters in her left hand and a single envelope in the other hand that bears the inscription "A. M. Willard. . . , Cleveland, Ohio." The Spirit of Electricity portrays a woman floating above a body of water bearing a torch in her right hand. The Spirit of the Telegraph is pictured as a winged woman holding a length of telegraph wire. View on Ohio Memory.
