Description: Photograph of garments on carts in the mechanized receiving room, in the bulk service building of The F. & R. Lazarus Company, ca. 1950. Between 1851 and 1965, the F & R Lazarus Company retail store dominated the trade and physical landscape of Columbus. The company rose from its early years as a men's clothier in a 20 x 40 foot room downtown, to its position by 1965 as a member of the largest department store chain, Federated Department Stores. Lazarus' growth reflects that of the capital city; from small beginnings through a "golden age" of downtown development, and eventually branching out into the surrounding countryside. In 2003, the Lazarus Company was incorporated with Macy's, a member of the Federated Department stores, and is no longer in existence. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This image shows the facade of the Edwin Stanton Home in Steubenville, Ohio. Edwin McMasters Stanton (1814-1869) was the Secretary of War in the Lincoln administration during the American Civil War. Prior to the Civil War, Stanton had been a long time supporter of the Democratic Party. He was certain that Abraham Lincoln's election to the presidency would result in war. Stanton, however, supported the new Republican president's actions to keep the nation united. He even encouraged Lincoln to arm the slaves. Following the resignation of Simon Cameron as Secretary of War in January 1862, Lincoln appointed Stanton to the office. Stanton accepted and became one of Lincoln's closest advisors during the American Civil War. When Lincoln died in April 1865, Stanton was regarded as the informal president of the United States until Andrew Johnson was sworn into office. Stanton did not have a close relationship with Andrew Johnson. Stanton strongly supported civil rights legislation and Johnson was much more cautious on this issue. Johnson demanded Stanton's resignation, but the Secretary of War refused. Johnson fired Stanton in 1867. Johnson's actions angered many members of the Congress of the United States. Congress had approved the Tenure of Office Act, which required the president to have Congressional approval before removing cabinet officers. The act had been designed to protect Stanton. The House of Representatives impeached the president. The Senate then debated whether or not to remove Johnson from office. In a vote of thirty-five to remove the president and nineteen opposed, Johnson remained president. The vote fell one vote short of having the necessary number to remove Johnson. Hearing of the Senate's decision, Stanton immediately resigned as Secretary of War on May 26, 1868. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph from the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus is of James "Cook" Jenkins, age 24. His formal attire suggests that the photograph was taken during his trial or sentencing. Jenkins, along with James Brown, was convicted of robbing and murdering Jacob Reinstatler, a Cincinnati jeweler; both men were executed. The caption at the bottom reads: “No. 242, Cook Jenkins of Hamilton County, Legally Electrocuted April 6th, 1945, for the Murder of Jacob Reinstatler.” In 1885 the Ohio Penitentiary in Columbus, Ohio, became the location for all executions, which previously took place in the various county seats. In 1896 the Ohio General Assembly mandated that electrocution replace hanging as the form of capital punishment. The Ohio Penitentiary regularly offered tours as well as souvenir photographs and postcards of the building and prisoners on death row. A total of 315 prisoners, both men and women, were executed in the electric chair known as “Old Sparky” between 1897 and 1963. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Taken by the Ohio Turnpike Commission, this aerial photograph show the results of the 1978 Blizzard on Ohio Turnpike traffic, January 1978. In January and February 1978, a series of three storms hit the Midwest and Northeast United States. These storms were some of the most severe winter events to occur in recent history, and collectively are known as the Blizzard of 1978. The second storm found Ohio in its path. From January 25 to 27, between one and three feet of snow fell across Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Winds averaged between fifty and seventy miles per hour, creating snowdrifts as deep as twenty-five feet. With temperatures already hovering near zero, the wind chill was deadly, reaching sixty degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Created by the Ohio Turnpike Act of 1949, the Ohio Turnpike Commission was authorized to construct, operate, and maintain a turnpike (and related projects) for the State of Ohio. The groundbreaking took place on October 27, 1952, and on December 1, 1954, the first section of the turnpike to be completed (the Niles-Youngstown to the Pennsylvania border) was opened to the public. The remaining portions of the road were completed by October 1, 1955. Over the following decades, various maintenance projects were undertaken and improvements made. In 2013, the 130th General Assembly passed H.B. 51, which renamed the Ohio Turnpike Commission the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Shoppers and volunteers are pictured in an aisle with bulk food items at the Olentangy Cooperative Grocery, located at 2647 North High Street in Columbus, Ohio. Grocery or food cooperatives (or co-ops) are generally non-profit storefronts where shoppers can purchase membership and volunteer monthly hours in exchange for food and other products at discounted prices. This photograph was taken for publication in the Columbus Free Press newspaper by photographer Allen Zak. 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.
