Description: Overlooking downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River for more than 200 years, historic Mt. Adams has shared a rich and fascinating history with the City of Cincinnati. Named after President John Quincy Adams, who in 1843 delivered the dedication address for what was then known as the world’s most powerful observatory (now site of the Monastery), the Hill has long enjoyed a tradition of fine wine, art and entertainment. In 1880, the Incline was modified to transport streetcars, resulting in a continuous route from downtown to Mt. Adams. The incline was closed in 1948, making it Cincinnati's last working incline.

Description: Dated ca. 1930-1939, this photograph shows the home of Caleb and Mary Inglish, located at 139 W 2nd St., Chillicothe, Ohio, in Ross County. According to the Ohio Historic Inventory, the original house was built around 1800. Another source placed the interior fine Federal cabinetwork to ca. 1825-1830. Also according to the Ohio Historic Inventory, the Greek Revival front section was added in 1830. Another source, however, indicates this second section was added sometime after Caleb and Mary Inglish Allen acquired the house in 1845. The initials C.A. dated 1864 are inscribed in a ladder in the attic. The "legend" behind this ladder and the rooftop it leads to is that it was a lookout for the Underground Railway. In 1919, Caleb and Mary's daughter, Mary Etta Allen Trimble, inherited the house. Her daughter, Gertrude Allen, inherited the home in 1930. She added the section in your photo. Based on oral history, this section was probably added in the late 1930s. Rhea Allen Mettler inherited the house in 1958 after Gertrude Allen passed. When Rhea Allen Mettler passed, the home was sold to William and Meng in 1968. This house passed within family through five generations from the 1830s to 1968. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The Republic Steel Corporation Collection (MSS 192) consists of 13,000 black and white photographic negatives, 2,000 color photographic negatives, and many 35 mm slides which document Republic Steel Corporation’s main production facilities and its subsidiaries, 1941-1975. This collection also includes images of social events such as company picnics, award banquets, and dances. Founded in 1899, Republic Iron and Steel Company was a steel production company based in Youngstown, Ohio, and the result of a consolidation of 34 steel mills across the United States including the Mahoning Valley’s Brown Bonnell Iron Company, Andrews Brothers and Company, and Mahoning Iron Company. From 1927-1937, Republic Iron and Steel Company expanded its reach by acquiring a number of other companies such as Trumbull Steel Company in Warren, Ohio, and Central Alloy Steel Corporation in Canton, Ohio. With its expansion, Republic Iron and Steel Company became the third largest steel producer in the United States behind United States Steel Corporation and Bethlehem Steel Company, and changed its name to Republic Steel Corporation to reflect its new status. After the outbreak of World War II in 1941, the Corporation’s production increased by 33%. This increased production continued into the 1950s and 1960s as the company continued to be one of the leading developers of steel production technology. Due to a myriad of factors including decreased demand for steel from automobile manufacturers and imported foreign steel, steel sales declined and in 1984 the Republic Steel Corporation was purchased by LTV Corporation, which led to the closure of the Youngstown plant. LTV filed for bankruptcy in December 2000. View on Ohio Memory.
