Amtrak Station, Old South End







Park Hotel, Old South End

Beautiful entrance, but it's in need of maintenance.
I believe the streets are Wade and Knapp, between the Amtrak station and Broadway.

Lime City Quarry, Wood County, Ohio


HERE'S a website devoted to beautiful mineral specimens, from the Lime City Quarry. There's another, along with a map,HERE .

Rutherford B. Hayes

The presidential inauguration of Northwest Ohio's Rutherford B. Hayes, on March 5, 1877. Hayes had secretly taken the oath of office two days earlier, in fear of unrest. He lost the popular vote to Democrat Samuel Tilden by about a quarter million votes, and lost the electoral vote as well. However the results from four states were contested and the Republican-controlled Congress set up an Electoral Commission to decide the winner.
Needless to say, the Republican Hayes became president, in spite of having lost the election.

Norwalk, Ohio

Norwalk seems to be well fixed for good houses, in spite of the recent barbarism shown by the Episcopal congregation in the destruction of their rectory.
This one had a fire, recently, but is being restored.
