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: The exterior of the Marathon Oil Co. building in Findlay. Marathon was originally known as the Ohio Oil Company until 1962. It's origin goes back to the late 19th century when Ohio was found to have oil of its own. The company would soon be taken over by the giant Standard Oil until Standard Oil was eventually dismantled. The company later decided to expand its operations, searching for oil further afield and eventually getting into the business processing oil, where previously it had simply sold crude oil to other companies. By the 1960s, the company had acquired its name of Marathon, and later it would merge with another oil company to become Marathon Ashland Petroleum. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The Taylorsville Dam, an earthen embankment located across the Great Miami River in northeastern Montgomery County near the City of Vandalia. U.S. 40 goes across the top of the dam. The dam was built to temporarily store floodwater and has no gates or permanent pool. It is 2,980 feet long and 67 feet high. There are four concrete conduits through the base of the embankment near the east abutment. The conduits are sized to discharge a peak flow during an Official Plan Flood that can be handled by the flood protection levees and channels downstream. The remainder of the floodwaters are temporarily stored behind the dam and released over time. An emergency spillway is located directly above the conduits in the same structure. Its construction was the result of a vigorous movement for flood protection that followed the devastation of the 1913 flood. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads: "Cinci., O., Sept. 1937, Schmidlapp Home." Horace Schmidlapp and Jean Maxwell Schmidlapp’s home, located at 10 Grandin Lane in the Hyde Park community of Cincinnati, Ohio was better known as Ca Sole. Horace was the son of Cincinnati's well known businessman, Jacob G. Schmidlapp, known best for founding what is now part of Fifth Third Bank. Jean Maxwell was the daughter of lawyer Lawrence Maxwell, who served as President Grover Cleveland's Solicitor General. Set in the rolling hills of East Walnut Hills, near the Cincinnati Country Club and close to downtown, the home enjoyed views of the Little Miami River. This Italianate style home was built by Grosvenor Atterbury and by the time it was completed in 1927, the couple had separated. The two storied residence was made of buff colored stone with pink and gray terracotta tile roof, with most of the main rooms facing the rear to take of advantage of the view. The windows were trimmed with peacock blue with details in pink and gray brick. Atterbury collaborated with landscape architects Ferruccio Vitale, Alfred Geiffert Jr. and Umberto Innocenti to create beautifully landscaped terraced gardens and a hexagon shaped walled garden with intricate wrought iron gates and arched openings meant to frame the landscape below. The entrance hall was done in light red brick with wood beamed ceilings and wrought iron light fixtures. Glass lantern slides were painted by artist Gladys Pratt. Much of the exterior and entrance details were incorporated into the interior of the rest of the house, to add cohesion to the design. View on Ohio Memory.
