Description: Located 643 Oak St., in the northern suburbs, the 1910 Georgian revival building housed the Cincinnati Woman's Club. Among many organizations inspired by the 1892 Columbian Exposition, the Club was dedicated in 1894 "to high civic and artistic purposes." Its first home was the Perin building, NWC Fifth and Race Sts., downtown Cincinnati [demolished]. In the early part of the 20th century, the Club advocated for public health and child labor laws. From 1910 to 1966, the Club occupied the building here depicted; it was demolished to make way for Interstate 71, and the Club moved to larger quarters at 330 Lafayette Avenue in Clifton. Reverse reads: "Cincinnati Woman's Club" View on Ohio Memory.

This is one of the many visual materials collected for use in the Ohio Guide. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Works Progress Administration by executive order to create jobs for the large numbers of unemployed laborers, as well as artists, musicians, actors, and writers.

Work on the Ohio Guide began in 1935 with the publication of several pamphlets and brochures.

The final product was published in 1940 and went through several editions.

Description: Illustration of Harper's Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia), following the Civil War, from "Life of Abraham Lincoln" by Clifton M. Nichols, 1896. Harper's Ferry is located at the intersection of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. The most noted event in the town's long history was on October 16, 1859, when abolitionist John Brown and a small group of followers tried unsuccessfully to capture the federal arsenal. In less than two days, most of Brown's followers were killed or wounded. He was caught, tried for treason and sentenced to death. Due to the town's strategic location, it was occupied by both Union and Confederate forces during the Civil War and a great deal of the town's infrastructure was damaged. View on Ohio Memory.
