Description: An aerial photograph of Lakeview Terrace, in Cleveland, Ohio, with the Cuyahoga River winding beside it. Lakeview Terrace, internationally known as a landmark in public housing, was one of three Cleveland housing projects that were the first to be authorized by the federal government's Public Works Administration. Together with Cedar-Central and Outhwaite, it began in 1935 and completed in 1937. Lakeview Terrace was especially notable because of its successful adaptation to a difficult site. The 22-acre site at W. 28th St. between Lake Erie and the Main Avenue Bridge was an irregular hillside with an 80-ft. drop in elevation. The scheme was adapted to the hillside by a curving road, with many of the housing units arranged in a fan-like pattern. There are 44 residential buildings of 3 types--apartments, row houses, and a combination of the two--oriented as much as possible to provide daylight and views of the lake. The architects were Joseph L. Weinberg in association with William. H. Conrad and Wallace G. Teare. The building construction was entirely fireproof, consisting of brick on tile walls with concrete roof and floor slabs and steel casement windows. The curved end walls, the windows arranged in horizontal bands, the iron railings, and especially the distinctive downturned hoods over the doorways reflected the work of International Style architects. Lakeview Terrace included the first community center in a public housing project. The project was also innovative in its use of the decorative arts, made possible by the creation of the Treasury Relief Art Project in 1935. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: View of the cross erected at the Church of the Immaculate Conception or Immaculata Church in the Mount Adams/Mount Ida neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The church was built in 1859 for the German Catholic population of the area, and from 1860 to present it has been a pilgrimage church. In 1977, it absorbed the nearby Irish parish of Holy Cross. The church was listed National Register of Historic Places in 1978. An attached piece of paper reads "GOOD FRIDAY PILGRIMAGE, CINCINNATI. Pilgrims at the cross erected outside the Church of the Immaculate Conception. 'On Good Friday devout Catholics perform a colorful pilgrimage up several flights of steps from the foot of E. Third St. in self-communion, then 103 steps to the CHURCH OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION, Pavillion and Guide Sts., receive blessings from a fragment of the true cross, climb steps to the Holy Cross Monastery and Church, and pass reverently through the dim "grotto" beneath the church and then into the church.'-Cincinnati City Treatment. "Above the head of Jesus is inscribed: INRI (Iesus Nazarenum Rex Iudaeorum). Note the two boys with legs astraddle the iron fence, straining to touch the cross. Federal Writers' Photographer, Cincinnati. March 26, 1937." 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.
