Description: This color image is a front exterior view of the ornate Victorian/Italianate house located in Warren, Ohio, that once was the residence of Henry Bishop Perkins, Sr. (1824-1902). A sign displayed above the center two windows on the second floor identifies the building as City Hall. Built in 1871, the Perkins House became Warren City Hall in 1934. Perkins, a civic, business, and political leader, was the son of Simon Perkins (1771-1844), an early settler in the Connecticut Western Reserve and an important economic and political leader in the region. During the 19th and early 20th century political figures such as U.S. Grant, James A. Garfield, Rutherford B. Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, and William McKinley were visitors to this house.

Description: This color photograph is a close-up of the cornerstone of the historic First Presbyterian Church in West Union, Ohio, ca. 1965-1970. The text reads: “First Presbyterian Church / organized 1800 / erected 1810.” Possibly made of granite, the cornerstone contrasts sharply with the warm-toned stone wall that encases it. The congregation was organized circa 1800 on Thomas Kirker's land on Eagle Creek, about three miles from West Union. Kirker, Ohio's second governor, was influential in organizing the congregation and raising funds for the building’s construction. Stonemason Thomas Metcalfe, Kentucky governor from 1828-1832, was awarded the contract to build the walls for $250; total construction cost was $500. Before the American Civil War, the First Presbyterian Church's ministers and congregation played an active role in the abolitionist movement, including assisting fugitive slaves. During the Civil War, the church also briefly served as a barracks for the Seventieth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, a regiment of recruits from Adams County and eastern Brown County. The church was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1976. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This image shows the Morristown Presbyterian church. Morristown is somewhat unique in that it is old enough that it dates back before Ohio had even achieved statehood. Because of it's position right by the important National Road, the town had a strong economy and much of it exists still until this day. View on Ohio Memory.
