Description: This photograph shows the main corridor of the State Office Building, Columbus, Ohio. Construction of the building began in 1930 and was completed in 1933. The 14-story, white marble structure was designed by Cincinnati architect Harry Hake and serves as a classic example of the Art Moderne style. The interior of the building includes public spaces decorated with murals, mosaics and bas-reliefs that tell the history of Ohio and its industries. 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-serving chief justice in state history at the time of his death in April 2010.

Description: Back reads: "Rock House State Park." Hocking Hills State Park is known for its geologic features of Blackhand sandstone, including Old Man's Cave, Cedar Falls, and Rock House. The only true cave in the Hocking Hills region, Rock House is a corridor-like tunnel situated in a 150-foot Blackhand sandstone cliff. Rock House has been used by many different groups over the course of its history. Small recesses, called hominy holes, are believed to have been used by American Indians as baking ovens. According to local folklore, Rock House was also used as a hideout by robbers, murderers, and bootleggers, earning it the nickname Robbers' Roost. A sixteen-room hotel, built in 1835 by Colonel F.F. Rempel of Logan, once stood where the picnic shelter is today. View on Ohio Memory.
