Man waiting on corner   Save
High Street Photograph Collection, 1972-1975
Description: An elderly man wearing a suit and hat waits on the corner across from Mellman's at 551 North High Street, in the Short North neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. Mellman’s, a tavern on the southwest corner of High and Goodale Street, advertises Burger Beer with a neon sign. Mellman's later moved downtown but closed in the 1990s. The High Street Photograph Collection is comprised of over 400 photographs of High Street in Columbus, Ohio, taken in the early 1970s. These photographs were taken primarily at street level and document people and the built environment from the Pontifical College Josephinum on North High Street in Worthington through Clintonville, the University District and Short North, Downtown and South Columbus. The photographs were used in a television photo documentary that aired on WOSU called "High Street." Photographers that were involved in this project were Alfred Clarke, Carol Hibbs Kight, Darrell Muething, Clayton K. Lowe, and Julius Foris, Jr. View on Ohio Memory.
