Description: This image shows the front facades of the Madison County Sheriff's Office and the Madison County Courthouse. The sheriff's office served as the county jail until 2000, when the Tri-County Regional Jail was opened. The original building had two sections, one of which was the county jail and the other served as the Sheriff's residence. The jail held female, male and juvenile prisoners. In the early 1980s, the Sheriff moved out of the residence and this portion of the building became offices. The entire building now houses county offices. The jail is located on the southeast corner of the courthouse square. To the right is the Madison County Courthouse. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads "Cinci., O., Nov. 16, 1937. Copy Mrs. Kilgrove, 'The Pines'."

Description: Dated ca. 1930-1943, this photograph shows two boys sitting by a pond, with a note on the reverse which reads "People at work or play." 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.
