Description: Photograph of a house along North High Street in Columbus, Ohio, identified as the Chestnut house. An accompanying caption reads, "Mr. Chestnut is reputed to have had a favorite tree that stood in the parkway in from of his home. Being a man of strong will he managed to hold up for years the paving of that strip of roadway by refusing to allow the removal of his favorite tree." This image was included in a "Memory Book" compiled by Mrs. H. V. Cottrell, historian for the Clinton League (sometimes called the Clinton Welfare League) from 1938-1943. The book shows the development of the Clintonville neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, and records the history of the League.

Description: Dated ca. 1935-1965, this photograph shows inmates at the Ohio Reformatory for Women roller skating. In 1911, the Ohio General Assembly authorized the establishment of a separate women’s penal institution. On September 1, 1916, the Ohio Reformatory for Women opened in Marysville, Ohio, with a population of 34 inmates. When Marguerite Reilley was appointed superintendent of the Reformatory in 1935, she found dirty and unkempt inmates with excessively restricted living habits. She instituted the “human being” program which provided recreation, entertainment, jobs, and vocational training for the inmates. State Archived Series 1679 AV consists of 234 photographs which illustrate daily life in the Ohio Reformatory for Women, as well as photographs of the buildings and grounds, superintendents Marguerite Reilley and Martha Wheeler, and notorious inmate Velma West.

Description: Taken in 1936, this photograph shows a large number of people swimming in the pool at Bomberger Park. The pool has colonnades running down two sides. The far side has a tall wall with the warning "DON'T RUN." Bomberger Park is located in the St. Anne's Hill neighborhood of Dayton, Ohio, just north of the University of Dayton. Though still a small park, it is a shadow of its earlier state. The wading pool pictured is no longer in existence. This photograph is one of the many visual materials collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers. The Federal Arts Program, a sector of the Works Progress Administration, included the Federal Writers’ Project, one of the primary goals of which was to complete the America Guide series, a series of guidebooks for each state which included state history, art, architecture, music, literature, and points of interest to the major cities and tours throughout the state. Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures. The Reorganization Act of 1939 consolidated the Works Progress Administration and other agencies into the Federal Works Administration, and the Federal Writers’ Project became the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio. The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions. The Ohio Guide Collection consists of 4,769 photographs collected for use in Ohio Guide and other publications of the Federal Writers’ Project in Ohio from 1935-1939. View on Ohio Memory.
