Description: Photo taken by Works Progress Administration sometime between 1936-1943. Located at 301 North 4th Street in Steubenville, it now bears the name Sycamore Tree Church. In 1803 Bishop Frances Asbury, one of the fathers of Methodism visited Steubenville and in 1810 the first “Methodist Society” or church was organized in Steubenville. It wasn’t until 1826 that Edwin M. Stanton was converted and became a member. In 1830 South Street Church experienced their first division. By 1847 the new brick facility, able to hold 500 persons, was completed. This offshoot of the South Street Church took the name of “Hamline”. In 1851 gas lines were installed in both the South Street and Hamline churches, and in 1852 Hamline left the security of South Street Church and became fully independent. 1888 Christmas Service was delivered by Rev. Dr. Youmans View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Located at 714 N. Limestone Street, this structure was photographed in the Depression Era by the Works Progress Administration. This Romanesque Revival building completed in 1894 was one of the last few designs by Springfield architect Charles Creager. Incorporated in his design are the use of brick, limestone; sandstone, terracotta, and a slate roof. Not visible in this shot is its unique octagonal onion dome. It has been speculated that the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem was Creager's inspiration. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Pictured is a brick building in the Neoclassical Revival style characteristic of new construction in the 1930s. It likely served as a Post Office or other municipal purpose. Other buildings of the 30s reflect a trend toward simplified designs associated with the Art Deco and Art Moderne movements of the period. In twelve separate counties, primarily in southeastern Ohio, more than twenty-five percent of families had at least one member working for the WPA during the late 1930s. By the end of 1938, these various workers had built or improved 12,300 miles of roads and streets and constructed 636 public buildings, several hundred bridges, hundreds of athletic fields, and five fish hatcheries.
