Description: This photograph shows an exterior view of the Union Terminal, Cincinnati, Ohio, ca. 1935-1943. Cars are parked in front of the terminal and along the approach to the building. New York architectural firm Fellheimer and Wagner was in charge of its design. The firm’s designer, Roland Wank, and Paul Cret, an architectural consultant from Philadelphia, transformed the terminal’s original Classical design into an acclaimed Art Deco masterpiece. The rotunda of the terminal’s distinctive semi-dome is 180 feet wide and 106 feet high, making it second only to the half-dome of Australia’s Sydney Opera House in size. Two massive bas-relief sculptures representing Transportation (south side) and Commerce (north side) were carved by sculptor Maxfield Keck. Creations by visual artists Reinhold Weiss, Pierre Bourdelle, and William Hentschel decorated the terminal’s rotunda, concourse, and public rooms. Although planning discussions for a new terminal begin in the 1900s, the project was delayed by floods, World War I, and inter-railroad squabbles. Union Terminal was dedicated on March 31, 1933. The building ended its role as a railroad terminal in 1972; however, the city purchased the building in 1975 to ensure that it would be preserved. After experimenting with various options, the city and local organizations gave the historic building a new life as the Cincinnati Museum Center, which is home to several museums and other attractions, in 1990.

Description: Group of female Temperance Crusaders (and one man at center) dumping over barrels of liquor or beer. The Temperance movement was an organized effort during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to limit or outlaw the consumption and production of alcoholic beverages in the United States. In 1874, a group of Cleveland women established the Women's Christian Temperance Union. This organization pressured the Ohio and federal governments to implement Prohibition, which would outlaw the production, sale, and consumption of alcohol. From the mid 1870s to the early 1890s, the WCTU was the major organization within the United States seeking Prohibition. Its members utilized rather extreme tactics to convince Americans to abstain from alcohol. Members picketed bars and saloons, prayed for the souls of the bar patrons, and also tried to block the entryways of establishments that sold liquor. By the 1890s, groups such as the American Anti-Saloon League had joined the Women's Christian Temperance Union in its push for Prohibition. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: View of the "Ohio Monument" at the World's Fair Grounds in Chicago, Illinois, ca. 1893. The "My Jewels Monument," sometimes called "These Are My Jewels Statue," is located on the northwest corner of Capitol Square in Columbus, Ohio. Created by Levi T. Scofield (a Union officer who had previously created the epic Sailors and Soldiers Monument in Cleveland), the monument was exhibited by the state of Ohio at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, and then placed on its present site. Figures of Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, Philip H. Sheridan, Edwin M. Stanton, James A. Garfield, Salmon P. Chase, and Rutherford B. Hayes, Ohio soldiers and statesmen, surround a shaft topped by a statue of Cornelia, the Roman matron. Her words, "These Are My Jewels," stand out in relief at the top of the shaft. The line is taken from an anecdote from Roman history about Cornelia, a wealthy and respected Roman woman who considered her sons, Gaius and Tiberius, her jewels. The statue is meant to personify the state of Ohio by having Cornelia presenting to the nation in time of crisis the state's best and brightest sons to be used in the service of the war effort.
