Description: Dated 1920, this photograph shows a campaign rally crowd outside Warren G. Harding's home in Marion, Ohio. A campaign sign reads "Madison County for Uncle Warren." This photograph is part of a photograph album in the Warren G. Harding Photograph Collection (P146). Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States (1921-1923), was born in Blooming Grove, Ohio, in 1865. At age 14, Harding attended Ohio Central College in Iberia, Ohio, where he edited the campus newspaper and became an accomplished public speaker. He married Florence Kling de Wolfe in 1891, and embarked on his political career in 1900 by winning a seat in the Ohio legislature. After serving two terms as an Ohio Senator, Harding served as Lieutenant Governor in 1904 for two years before returning to the newspaper business. Although he lost the 1910 gubernatorial race, Harding was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1914. Political insider Harry Daugherty promoted Harding for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920. His front porch campaign was centered on speeches given from his home in Marion, Ohio, pledging to return the country to “normalcy” in this post World War I era. Harding easily won the election, gaining 61 percent of the popular vote. On August 2, 1923, Harding unexpectedly died from a massive heart attack while touring the western United States, and is entombed in the Marion Cemetery. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Civic Center: State Office Building and AIU Citadel as seen from the west bank of the Scioto River, Columbus, Ohio. The American Insurance Union Citadel (left), now known as the LeVeque Tower, was dedicated on September 21, 1927. The 47-story tall skyscraper located at 50 West Broad Street, was designed by architect C. Howard Crane in the Art Deco style. Due to the Great Depression the American Insurance Union went bankrupt, and sold the building. The tower was purchased by John Lincoln and Leslie L. LeVeque in 1945. The Ohio State Office Building (right) was constructed during 1930-1933. The 14-story building was designed by Cincinnati architect Harry Hake and serves as a classic example of the Modernistic style. The building was later known as the Ohio Judicial Center until 2011, when the state Supreme Court named the center in honor of the late Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, who was the second-longest chief justice in state history at the time of his death in April 2010.

Description: Three 5" by 7" (12.7 by 17.8 cm) photographs depict some of the celebrations in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Treaty of Greenville, which took place in August 1945. Events included a parade, an appreciation dinner for artist Howard Chandler Christy, and exhibition of the original Treaty of Greenville, on loan from the National Archives. The state of Ohio commissioned Christy (1873-1952), a nationally-known illustrator, to create the work for the 150th anniversary of the treaty that ended the Indian Wars in Ohio. The painting "The Signing of the Treaty of Greene Ville" was unveiled in a ceremony on August 3. Christy (in the white suit) can be seen sitting on the left in the first and second images. Governor Frank Lausche is seated next to him and can be seen addressing the crowd in the third image. Christy, born just south of Zanesville in Duncan Falls, Ohio, went to New York to study art at the age of sixteen. He began working at Scribner's Magazine in 1898 as an illustrator. During the Spanish American War, his illustrations of Cuba and Puerto Rico were seen around the United States. He returned to Duncan Falls after the war and began painting. By the early twentieth century Christy's elegant illustrations of women, collectively called "Christy Girls," appeared in Scribner's, Century, Ladies Home Journal, McClure's, and several books. Christy Girls were also used in recruitment posters during World War I. Christy began painting portraits after World War I; his best-known subjects were Calvin Coolidge, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, and Douglas MacArthur. The Depression of the 1930s changed Christy's artistic emphasis to historical subjects. In addition to the Greenville painting, Christy painted the "Scene of the Signing of the Constitution of the United States," which hangs in the Capitol in Washington, DC. View on Ohio Memory.
