Description: The Union County Courthouse was built next to the county jail in 1880. The land had been purchased in 1871 for the jail, and when two more lots were purchased in 1880, the courthouse construction began 100 days later in September of that year. The architect was David W. Gibbs of Toledo, Ohio, who also designed four other county courthouses in Ohio. The contractors were Karst and Woodruff. The bell tower reached 168 feet in height and the original clock was by Howard and Co. of Boston, Massachusetts. It was wound once a week by the courthouse janitor until 1942. At that time a rusty cable broke and one of the weights fell through the skylight of the rotunda, narrowly missing a court reporter. After that mishap, the clock was electrified. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph shows an aerial view of the Ohio Women's Reformatory in Marysville, Ohio. In 1911, the Ohio General Assembly authorized the establishment of a separate women’s penal institution. On September 1, 1916, the Ohio Reformatory for Women was opened in Marysville, Ohio, with a population of 34 inmates. When Marguerite Reilley was appointed superintendent of the Reformatory in 1935, she found dirty and unkempt inmates with excessively restricted living habits. She instituted the “human being” program which provided recreation, entertainment, jobs, and vocational training for the inmates. State Archives Series 2759 AV consists of three oversize black and white aerial photographs of the buildings and grounds of the Ohio Reformatory for Women. View on Ohio Memory.
