Description: This photograph is an interior view of the Union Terminal, Cincinnati, Ohio. A newsstand, located in the rotunda, occupies the foreground of the image. Beyond the newsstand is a wide concourse with benches in the rear. The area immediately surrounding the newsstand includes various service windows (beverages, food, tobacco, tickets, etc.) Two huge murals decorate the walls on either side of the service area. 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 it in 1975 to ensure its preservation. 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: Horse-drawn sleigh in front of the Wyandot County Courthouse in Upper Sandusky, Ohio. The Wyandot County Courthouse is one of the best-preserved examples of classical architecture from the turn of the century, built in 1899 on the site of a cemetery for soldiers who died in battle in the War of 1812. The County Municipal Courtroom served as the setting for courtroom scenes in the film “The Shawshank Redemption.” Photograph by Harry Evan Kinley (1882-1969), a native of Upper Sandusky.

Description: Photograph showing a crowd gathered outside Wholesale Liquor & Tobacco as a group of women protest for the Temperance movement. 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: Group photograph taken at a goodbye party for Mrs. Gatewood, who was moving away from Clintonville. The party was thrown by the Clinton League at the home of Mrs. W.W.

Description: Photograph from the Columbus Free Press Collection showing the butter sculpture at the 1985 Ohio State Fair. This sculpture, credited to artist Dan Ross, shows a veterinarian standing with a cow and calf. The "butter cow" has been a tradition sponsored by the Ohio State University and Dairy Processors of Ohio at the State Fair since the early 1900s. Dan Ross served as the sculptor each summer for more than 30 years. 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.
