Description: Photograph identified as Clinton Elementary School, about 1915. This school, built in 1895, replaced an original red brick building on the site at Clinton Heights Avenue and North High Street. It served as the primary school for Clintonville children from its construction until it was replaced with a larger building in 1922. This yellow brick building also served as the Clinton Township High School from 1897 through 1905, when a secondary building was built to house high school pupils for the township. This image was included in a "Memory Book" compiled by Mrs. H. V. Cottrell, historian for the Clinton League (sometimes called the Clinton Welfare League) from 1938-1943. The book shows the development of the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, and records the history of the League. The Clinton League was a women's group founded in 1912 to promote child welfare and later general welfare in Columbus, but which was based in and primarily focused on the area of Clintonville.

Description: Photograph taken for the Columbus Free Press showing volunteers at a Habitat for Humanity home under construction. Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing affordable homes for families. The Columbus Free Press began as a bi-weekly publication in Columbus, Ohio, in 1970. An underground newspaper, it replaced the Ohio State University publication The People, Yes. The earliest known issue of the newspaper appeared on January 4, 1971. The newspaper underwent a series of name changes over the decades, with titles including the Columbus Free Press & Cowtown Times (1972-1976), the Columbus Freepress (1976-1992) and The Free Press (1992-1995). The paper, which covered many liberal and progressive causes, was an alternative to mainstream news sources in central Ohio with the slogan “The Other Side of the News.” In 1995, the paper ceased publication briefly before reemerging as a website in early 1996, and returning as a print publication under the Free Press title in the form of a quarterly journal in 1998. Published under various frequencies during the first part of the 21st century, the Free Press again became a nonprofit monthly publication in 2017 with both a print and web presence, published by the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism and operated by a volunteer staff and board.

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.
