Description: Unidentified speaker addressing the audience at the laying the cornerstone of the State Office Building, Columbus, Ohio, 1931. Construction of the building began in 1930 and was completed in 1933. The 14-story, white marble building was designed by Cincinnati architect Harry Hake and serves as a classic example of the Modernistic style. The building was later known as the Ohio Judicial Center until 2011, when the state Supreme Court named the center in honor of the late Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, who was the second-longest chief justice in state history at the time of his death in April 2010.

Description: Carte de visite of General Samuel Wylie Crawford, who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. Originally from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, Crawford began the war as the surgeon at Fort Sumter. Moving into military command, he fought at Cedar Mountain, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Five Forks. He is most often remembered for his actions at Gettysburg. He marched in support of Colonel Vincent on Little Round Top, but missed that part of the fighting. He arrived in time to help sweep Longstreet's troops out of the Valley of Death, an action which McCandless' brigade had already begun. Nevertheless, Crawford claimed that he was the "Savior of Little Round Top," and spent a great deal of time post-war attempting to convince everyone else of that fact. View on Ohio Memory.
