Description: Photograph taken for the Columbus Free Press showing volunteers at a Habitat for Humanity home under construction. According to the sign in front of the home, it is a joint project of the NBD Bank and the Ohio State University College of Business MBA Program, being built for the Jenjer family. 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.

A typed caption on the reverse reads, "New home of the Red Cross Regional Blood Center located at the corner of E. Broad and Monroe. More than 112 years old, it formerly was the Columbus Boychoir School." The Columbus Boychoir was founded in 1937 and affiliated with the nearby Broad Street Presbyterian Church. The school opened in 1940, and in 1946, moved to the property pictured here, which had previously been operated as R. E. Jones Undertakers and the Women's Exchange Center, an antique and consignment shop. After the school moved to New Jersey in 1950, this site served as the Columbus Regional Blood Center for the American Red Cross. View on Ohio Memory.
