Description: Reber Hotel in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, during a patriotic celebration, possibly Independence Day. Originally constructed by W. W. Bates in 1848, the hotel building had gone through several proprietors and name changes before Albert Reber purchased it around 1900 and renamed it the Reber Hotel, also sometimes referred to as the Reber House. Photograph by Harry Evan Kinley (1882-1969), a native of Upper Sandusky. Kinley was active in local events and organizations, and spent his professional career as a clerk at his father's department store, and later as a travelling salesman for the Marion Paper & Supply Company (1934-1962). He was also an avid lifelong photographer, and the bulk of the Harry Kinley Collection is comprised of glass plate negatives documenting the Kinley family, the city of Upper Sandusky and Wyandot County and surrounding areas.

Description: Photograph of Charles Dick, stationed at Camp McKinley with the Ohio National Guard in 1903. Charles William Frederick Dick was born in Akron, Ohio, on November 3, 1858. He studied law and was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1894 and set up practice in his hometown. Dick briefly left his legal practice to serve in the Eighth Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, during the Spanish-American War. When the war ended, Dick returned to Akron and his law career. Associating himself with the Republican Party, Dick first entered politics as Summit County auditor from 1886 to 1894. He also was very active in the national Republican Party, serving as secretary of the Republican National Committee from 1896 to 1900. When Congressman Stephen A. Northway died in office in 1898, Dick was appointed to replace him in the U.S. House of Representatives. He subsequently gained reelection three times. Dick resigned from his seat in 1904 in order to accept appointment as a senator. Once again, Dick was replacing an Ohioan who had died in office -- Marcus A. Hanna. He served in the Senate from 1904 until 1911, when he failed to win reelection. After leaving the Senate, Dick resumed his legal practice in both Washington, DC, and Akron. He reentered the political arena once again in 1922, when he attempted to become the Republican candidate for the Senate, but was unsuccessful. Dick died in Akron, Ohio, on March 13, 1945.

Description: This photograph shows the Y-Bridge in Zanesville, Ohio. The bridge spans the confluence of the Licking and Muskingum Rivers, and carries the traffic of Route 40 (Main Street and West Main Street), as well as Linden Avenue. The first bridge was built in 1814 and has been reconstructed many times since the 1850s. After several iterations (some of them wooden covered bridges) were washed away, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers constructed a series of dams and locks to regulate the flow of the two rivers. The current concrete and steel bridge, the fifth in the same location, was opened in 1984. The bridge was listed on the National Registered of Historic Places on November 2, 1973.

Description: A young woman in a knit shawl poses for a portrait with her hand to her lips, outside of The University Shop for Women near the intersection of 15th Avenue and North High Street in the University District of Columbus, Ohio. The University District includes the small neighborhoods to the east and south of The Ohio State University campus on either side of the High Street corridor. The High Street Photograph Collection is comprised of over 400 photographs of High Street in Columbus, Ohio, taken in the early 1970s. These photographs were taken primarily at street level and document people and the built environment from the Pontifical College Josephinum on North High Street in Worthington through Clintonville, the University District and Short North, Downtown and South Columbus. The photographs were used in a television photo documentary that aired on WOSU called "High Street." Photographers that were involved in this project were Alfred Clarke, Carol Hibbs Kight, Darrell Muething, Clayton K. Lowe, and Julius Foris, Jr. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: A group of runners run down North High Street in Columbus, Ohio, with Dick Gregory (at center) in this photograph from the Columbus Free Press Association. Several of the men wear t-shirts that read "Dick Gregory's Food Run," showing a runner against a background of a map of the United States and an overflowing cornucopia. Dick Gregory was an African American comedian and civil rights activist with interest in a number of causes. In the summer of 1976, he completed a cross-country run to raise awareness of world hunger. 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.
