Description: In 1812 Captain James Manary built a blockhouse to control a point in the wilderness three miles north of Bellefontaine, at that time the northernmost settled place in Ohio. In a typical one-story log blockhouse, rifle ports lined every wall near the ceiling, and soldiers stood to fire from a bench running the perimeter of the room. The Army of the Northwest, under General William Hull, stopped at Manary's Blockhouse on its march from Dayton to Detroit. There, surrounded by what he imagined to be a superior force, Hull surrendered. He was court-martialed, sentenced to death, granted clemency by James Madison, and spent much of the rest of his life attempting to restore his reputation. James McPherson, a veteran of the Revolution and the War of 1812, bought the house in 1823; members of his family lived there until 1919. In 1924 it was moved to Indian Lake State Park, filled with objects from the period, and made a museum. The Ohio Guide described the array: "[...] willow and hickory chairs, a cornhusk doormat, spinning wheel and loom, andirons, early matches, stone vases, tintypes, snuff boxes, grease lamps, and a rare display of cotton printing of the Revolutionary War period." Reverse reads: "Manary Blockhouse. Route S-69 going north in Lakeview, Ohio. Photo no. 1 showing fire place on one side of room. District 10, Logan Co., Lakeview." View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Photograph showing a wall at Lakeview, Ohio. The wall is a structure used to protect and preserve land along the coasts of bodies of water. The caption the photograph reads: "Wall at Lakeview, Ohio." The attached description located on the back of the page reads: "PHOTOGRAPHS No's 89,90,94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100 & 101.| INDIAN LAKE REVETMENT WALL.| A wall should be constructed from Russell Point to Lakeview along the bank of Indian Lake. The present bank has become disintegrated and is more than one-half washed away from its original cross section. Said bank is very weak and is subject to rupture at any time. This bank impedes the entire waters of Indian Lake and should it give away, Indian Lake would be drained. In addition to being very expensive to repair, the damage incurred by said break, would entail thousands of dollars, besides loss of life. The gap that should spanned with a concrete wall is 4968 Linear feet. The present driveway is dangerous, which located on top of said bank, owing to it being washed so badly as to make the road bed not over 10 ft. in width. The construction of a wall and a back fill of the same would create a boulevard along the lake at this point." This photograph is part of a series taken by the Board of the Ohio Department of Public Works to document the disrepair of the infrastructure of the Ohio and Erie Canal and Miami-Erie Canal systems in 1916, showing the physical condition of each structure. The Ohio Department of Public Works is one of the oldest departments of state government in continuous existence. Among its other duties, this department was charged with maintenance and administration of the Ohio & Erie and Miami-Erie Canals. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: An aerial photograph of Lakeview Terrace, in Cleveland, Ohio, with the Cuyahoga River winding beside it. Lakeview Terrace, internationally known as a landmark in public housing, was one of three Cleveland housing projects that were the first to be authorized by the federal government's Public Works Administration. Together with Cedar-Central and Outhwaite, it began in 1935 and completed in 1937. Lakeview Terrace was especially notable because of its successful adaptation to a difficult site. The 22-acre site at W. 28th St. between Lake Erie and the Main Avenue Bridge was an irregular hillside with an 80-ft. drop in elevation. The scheme was adapted to the hillside by a curving road, with many of the housing units arranged in a fan-like pattern. There are 44 residential buildings of 3 types--apartments, row houses, and a combination of the two--oriented as much as possible to provide daylight and views of the lake. The architects were Joseph L. Weinberg in association with William. H. Conrad and Wallace G. Teare. The building construction was entirely fireproof, consisting of brick on tile walls with concrete roof and floor slabs and steel casement windows. The curved end walls, the windows arranged in horizontal bands, the iron railings, and especially the distinctive downturned hoods over the doorways reflected the work of International Style architects. Lakeview Terrace included the first community center in a public housing project. The project was also innovative in its use of the decorative arts, made possible by the creation of the Treasury Relief Art Project in 1935. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The concrete sculpture titled "Easter Basket," installed at Lakeview Park in Lorain, Ohio by artist David Shukait sometime in the early-to-mid 20th century, has been painted red, white and blue for the American Revolutionary War Bicentennial. Red flowers have been planted at the top of the sculpture and in between the basket weave designs. The image was submitted by photographer Robert Schimpf of Bucyrus, Ohio, in the Amateur category of the Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest. In August 1976, the Ohio American Revolution Bicentennial Advisory Committee (OARBAC) began the Spirit of Ohio Bicentennial Photo Contest as part of a larger effort in Ohio to celebrate the 1976 American Bicentennial. The contest was meant to document "the spirit and character of the people and places which represent Ohio during [the] bicentennial year," and to create a permanent photographic archive of the year's festivity for use by future researchers. Both professional and amateur photographers submitted over 500 photographs for consideration, all taken within the state between January 1 and December 31, 1976. View on Ohio Memory.
