Description: Dated 1920, this photograph shows three men wearing fedoras, sitting on the steps of Warren G. Harding's home in Marion, Ohio. 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: Public Square in Newark, from "Historical Collections of Ohio" by Henry Howe, 1847. Settled in 1802, Newark is the county seat of Licking County. It is located approximately thirty-five miles east of Columbus. Construction of the Ohio and Erie Canal began just south of Newark at Licking Summit in 1825. The canal led to local prosperity in the 1830's and 1840's. In 1830, Newark had a population of roughly one thousand people, and by 1840, the population had almost tripled to over 2,700 people. During the twentieth century, Newark continued to grow and prosper. In 2000, Newark's population exceeded 45,000 people. The Ohio State University at Newark is the largest of The Ohio State University's branch campuses. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph gives a birds-eye view of the east bank of the Scioto River in downtown Columbus, Ohio, ca. 1960. Visible in the left side of the photograph are the Broad Street and Town Street bridges over the Scioto River. The tallest building is the LaVeque Tower, formerly the American Insurance Union Citadel. It 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. It remained the highest tower in Columbus until 1973. The light-colored building to the south of Leveque Tower was originally The Ohio State Office Building. Constructed during 1930-1933, the 14-story building was designed by Cincinnati architect Harry Hake and serves as a classic example of the Art Moderne 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 J. Moyer, who was the second-longest-serving chief justice in state history at the time of his death in April 2010. The Ohio Statehouse is visible in the center of the photograph (toward the right edge). View on Ohio Memory.
