Bucyrus street scene photograph Save

Description: A view of Sandusky Avenue, Bucyrus, Ohio, ca. 1900. Visible are various storefronts on this busy street, along which stand horse-drawn buggies. Building and window signs identify the retail stores A.J. Salzer (dry goods); Rowe & Brothers (dry goods); and M. Baumoel (carpets and dry goods). A large sign on the roof of the building promotes "Emrich One-Price Clothier." In the far right of the photograph, a horse harnessed to an unseen buggy or wagon stands on the street next to Rowe & Brothers. Tall telephone or telegraph poles loom over the buildings. This photograph probably dates to around 1900. An image taken in 1908 shows streetcar tracks running down the middle Sandusky Avenue; in this image there are no tracks. A search of business listings in the Bucyrus city directories of this period indicates that all of the stores identified above were in business in 1900. View on Ohio Memory.

Horse-drawn wagons are parked on both sides of the street, and pedestrians are visible on the sidewalk. An advertising banner hangs above the street.

By the mid-20th century, Howard Street become the center of African-American culture. It was home to many of the city's black-owned business and entertainment establishments, and provided an atmosphere in which minority-owned businesses could thrive. Attracted to the vitality of the neighborhood, entrepreneur George Mathews (1887-1982) established a barbershop here in 1920 and in 1925 opened the adjoining Mathews Hotel. The hotel quickly became the anchor of the Howard Street district. Mathews' success allowed him to endow a scholarship fund at the University of Akron in 1964. View on Ohio Memory.
