Dawes Arboretum

The Dawes Arboretum is a nonprofit arboretum located in Newark, Ohio. The site includes nearly 1,910 acres (7.7 km2) of plant collections, gardens and natural areas. The site includes approximately 12 miles (19 km) of hiking trails and roadways for a four-mile (6 km) driving tour. History Beman Dawes was born in 1870 and grew up in Marietta, Ohio. His father ran a lumber business and also served one term as a U.S. Representative. Bertie Burr was born in 1872 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Her father served as mayor of Lincoln and as a U.S. Senator. The two married in 1894 and eventually had five children. Around 1917, the couple bought a 140-acre farm in Licking Township and dubbed it "Daweswood." The farm served as a retreat for the family, who also had a home in Columbus, and a place to nurture trees and plant specimens collected from around the world. The arboretum had doubled in size by the time it was officially founded in 1929. Beman and Bertie Dawes created the foundation "to encourage the planting of forest and ornamental trees … to give pleasure to the public and education to the youth." Dawes Arboretum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Around 270,000 visitors a year come to the park. Beginning in 2019, Dawes Arboretum now charges an admission fee, to visitors whom are non-members of the arboretum, for the first time in the organization's history. Features The Dawes Arboretum's features nearly 16,000 living trees, shrubs, flowers and other plants, as well as the Daweswood House Museum, which features Dawes family memorabilia and antiques. The grounds include a number of gardens and natural areas. The Japanese Garden, designed by landscape architect Dr. Makoto Nakamura in 1963, includes a reflecting pond and meditation area. The arboretum features one of the northernmost native bald-cypress swamps in North America, which visitors can walk through on a boardwalk. Jefferson salamander and spotted salamanders are present in the swamp from late winter through spring. The Dutch Fork Wetlands is a 70-acre wetland and grassland ecosystem located on the arboretum grounds. The original wetlands and habitats disappeared and changed due to years of agriculture practice. The area was restored into a diverse ecosystem, and mammals, birds and insects make the wetlands their home. Visitors either explore the wetlands alone or take a guided tour. Plant collections The collection includes buckeye, chestnut, conifer, holly and oak specimens, as well as three nationally accredited tree collections, as recognized by the Plant Collections Network: Acer multisite (maples) Aesculus (buckeyes and horse-chestnuts) Hamamelis (witch-hazel) Metasequoia glyptostroboides (dawn redwood) The arboretum has hosted more than 100 tree dedications since 1927. Among the Ohioans who have trees dedicated to them on the grounds are athlete Jesse Owens, astronaut John Glenn, inventors Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright, and author Julie Zickefoose.

Defiance College

The Defiance College is a private college in Defiance, Ohio, United States. Affiliated with the United Church of Christ, the campus includes eighteen buildings and access to the 200-acre (80.9 ha) Thoreau Wildlife Sanctuary. The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. History The college began as Defiance Female Seminary in 1850 and was opened by the Christian Connection, which itself later became part of the United Church of Christ, to provide schooling for young women. In 1903, the Defiance Female Seminary formally became Defiance College, making it one of only two religious-affiliated colleges to begin operation in Ohio during the 20th century. During President Kevin McCann's leadership (1951–1964), the campus increased in size to 140 acres (56.7 ha); the library, student union, and Pilgrim halls were built; and old buildings were renovated. President Dwight D. Eisenhower paid two visits to Defiance. On October 15, 1953, he laid the cornerstone for the Anthony Wayne Library of American Study. Eisenhower also visited the campus on May 26, 1963, to deliver the commencement address, at which time the college announced that one room in the library had been designated "the Eisenhower Room", honoring the friendship between Eisenhower and Kevin C. McCann. The college is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. The college was put on probation in 2023 for concerns with one out of the eighteen accreditation criteria. In June 2025, the sanction was removed. Athletics The Defiance College Yellow Jackets moved conferences at the end of the 2023–24 athletic season from the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) of NCAA Division III to the Wolverine–Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) in every sport except for football, where they are a member of the Mid-States Football Association (MSFA) and are a part of the NAIA. The Defiance College athletic program has begun the processes of adding new athletic programs in the near future. In the 2025–26 athletic season, men's volleyball, women's bowling, and powerlifting will be the newest additions to the expanded athletic program. At the current time, it is believed men's volleyball and women's bowling will also be competing in the WHAC. Powerlifting is not confirmed at this time.

Delaware County Courthouse (Ohio)

The Historic Delaware County Courthouse is located at 91 N Sandusky St, Delaware, OH 43015 in Delaware, Ohio. The courthouse was placed on the National Register. History Delaware County was established in 1807 by an act of the Ohio General Assembly. The county seat was placed at Berkshire until 1808 when Delaware was founded and successfully petitioned to be the county seat. The courts met in various locations until a courthouse was built in 1815. The building cost the county $8,000 and was a simple one story building. The building contained fire walls to protect the structure from burning, but a fire struck the building towards the end of the 1800s forcing the county to rent a different location. A new courthouse was chosen and planned in 1868 in the Italianate style and designed by Robert N. Jones. The courthouse cost the county $80,000 to build. In 1996, the county renovated the courthouse for six months at a cost of $500,000. The county is faced with a growing population and a new Justice Center is currently under construction. That building is scheduled for completion and occupancy in August or September 2017. The General and Domestic Relations Divisions of the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas will move to the new building as will the Public Defender's Office, the Delaware County Clerk of Courts, the adult probation office, and a meeting room for the grand jury. The county has announced plans to renovate the historic courthouse, and a facilities use study is underway to determine which county offices will occupy the building once renovated. Exterior The square two-story structure is built of red bricks. The main facade contains a central projection capped with a pediment. The door sits in a recessed alcove and is contained within an arch faced with stone blocks. A window above contains two thin arched windows within an arched recess. To either side of the projection are two arched windows, the lower windows being shorter with squat arches and the top floor containing longer fully arched windows. Each window is surrounded by decorative stone casings. The hipped roof rises to a central square drum supporting a dome topped by a statue of Justice. A wrought iron railing runs around the drum and arched windows light the floors below.

Eddie Dew Memorial Airpark

Eddie Dew Memorial Airpark (FAA LID: 1G8), is a privately owned airport near Toronto, Ohio, U.S., part of the Pittsburgh Combined Statistical Area. The airport opened in December 1937. In 2009, flight restrictions were imposed at the airport due to the 2009 G-20 Pittsburgh summit. Facilities and aircraft The airport has one runway. Designated as Runway 17/35, it measures 2268 x 145 ft (691 x 44 m) and is turf. Twenty-two aircraft are reported as being based at the airport; approximately 2,850 aircraft movements per year take place. Accidents and incidents On December 17, 2005, a Piper PA-22 crashed during takeoff from the Eddie Dew Memorial Airpark. The airplane swerved during takeoff roll on a snow-covered runway and subsequently nosed over after dragging its left wingtip. The pilot stated that during the takeoff roll he attempted to follow the tire tracks left in the snow by a previous airplane. The pilot decided during the takeoff roll that the airplane could not take off, and he attempted to abort. However, during that process, the airplane swerved left, dragged its left wing tip, and nosed over. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's decision to depart from the snow-covered runway, which resulted in the swerve during takeoff roll and subsequent nose over. On July 18, 2009, a Foglio Tiger Cup crashed after takeoff from the Eddie Dew Memorial Airpark. On his second takeoff of the day, the pilot reported the airplane was not climbing, and engine power was low. The aircraft clipped a tree, and the pilot elected to land in a nearby field. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's failure to turn off carburetor heat prior to takeoff, resulting in reduced engine performance.

Eldean Covered Bridge

The Eldean Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge spanning the Great Miami River in Miami County, Ohio north of Troy. Built in 1860, it is one of the nation's finest surviving examples of a Long truss, patented in 1830 by engineer Stephen H. Long. At 224 feet (68 m) in length for its two spans, it is the longest surviving example of its type. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016. Description and history The Eldean Covered Bridge is located north of the city of Troy, spanning the Great Miami River between Concord Township and Staunton Township on a now-bypassed segment of County Road 33. It is a two-span structure, mounted on cut stone abutments and a central pier. The western abutment and central pier have been capped in concrete, and the pier has a cutwater feature on its northern (upstream) side. The total structure length is 231 feet (70 m), with each span about 108 feet (33 m) and 21 feet (6.4 m) wide. The roadway has a width of 17 feet (5.2 m) and a maximum clearance of 13 feet (4.0 m). The bridge has a gabled metal roof, vertical board sheathing on the outside, and small square apertures framed in each side for light. County Road 33 was laid out in 1847, providing access to a hamlet originally serving the Miami and Erie Canal to the east. The present bridge was built in 1860, and is the second to stand on the site. The bridge trusses were built to a patented design by engineer Stephen H. Long. The Long truss was the first truss structure to be designed using engineering principles, and it introduced the idea of prestressed elements which are used to counteract active load on the structure. This bridge is one of the finest and least-altered examples of this truss type. With the demise of the Old Blenheim Bridge in New York, it is also the longest example of the type. On December 23, 2016, the Eldean Covered Bridge was designated a National Historic Landmark.

Fenn Tower

Fenn Tower is a 22-story skyscraper in Cleveland, Ohio. It is owned by Cleveland State University. It was built for the National Town and Country Club, but was only used for one event before closing. It was originally known as the National Town and Country Club before being sold. It was purchased by Fenn College in 1937 for $250,000. It is currently being used as student housing. It is the second tallest structure on the Cleveland State campus, second to Rhodes Tower. The tower was named after Sereno Peck Fenn (one of three principal founders of Sherwin-Williams), whom Fenn College was named after. Fenn Tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the National Town and Country Club. It was originally furnished by Rorimer-Brooks Studios, Inc. Originally where the Fenn Gym and The Ellwood H. Fisher Swimming Pool were located, they were removed during the 2005 renovation. History Fenn started by offering night classes in the 1930s in engineering and its model was to specialize in low cost higher education. Fenn's first president was Dr. Cecil V. Thomas who was a well known academician and Ohio educator. In 1932, Fenn added business classes to the growing roster of student programs. The National Town and Country Club Building was supposed to house the gentleman's club for Greater Clevelanders who wanted a central location in which to hold club meetings and events. However, due to the stock market crash in 1929, the club was no longer solvent and the high rise building lay vacant until purchased by Fenn College in 1937 because of Fenn's need for more space. This meant that Fenn was only the third college in the United States to have a skyscraper on its academic campus (the others being the University of Pittsburgh and Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia) and further gave Fenn a much more coveted Euclid Avenue downtown address.

Fenn Tower

Fenn Tower es un rascacielos histórico de 22 pisos en Cleveland, la segunda ciudad más poblada del estado de Ohio (Estados Unidos). Pertenece a la Universidad Estatal de Cleveland. Fue construido para el National Town and Country Club, pero solo se usó para un evento antes del cierre. Originalmente se conocía como National Town and Country Club antes de venderse. Fue comprado por Fenn College en 1937 por 250.000 dólares.​ Actualmente se utiliza como vivienda para estudiantes. Es la segunda estructura más alta del campus de Cleveland State, después de Rhodes Tower. La torre lleva el nombre de Sereno Peck Fenn (uno de los tres fundadores principales de Sherwin-Williams),​ a quien se le dio el nombre de Fenn College. Fenn Tower figura en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos como National Town and Country Club. Originalmente fue amueblado por Rorimer-Brooks Studios, Inc. Originalmente donde estaban ubicados el gimnasio Fenn y la piscina Ellwood H. Fisher, fueron removidos durante la renovación de 2005.​ Historia Fenn comenzó ofreciendo clases nocturnas en la década de 1930 en ingeniería y su modelo era especializarse en educación superior de bajo costo.​ El primer presidente de Fenn fue Cecil V. Thomas, un académico y educador de Ohio. En 1932, Fenn agregó clases de negocios a la creciente lista de programas para estudiantes.​ Se suponía que el edificio del National Town and Country Club albergaría el club de caballeros para los habitantes de Gran Cleveland que querían una ubicación central para celebrar reuniones y eventos del club.​ Sin embargo, debido al crack del 29, el club ya no era solvente y el edificio de gran altura quedó vacío hasta que fue comprado por Fenn College en 1937 debido a la necesidad de Fenn de más espacio. Esto significó que Fenn era solo la tercera universidad en los Estados Unidos en tener un rascacielos en su campus académico (los otros son la Universidad de Pittsburgh y la Universidad Thomas Jefferson en Filadelfia) y además le dio a Fenn una dirección en el centro de la Avenida Euclid mucho más codiciada.​ En 1940, Fenn obtuvo la acreditación de la North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.​ Cabe señalar que a lo largo de su historia, Fenn nunca operó con pérdidas hasta 1963, cuando las crecientes presiones financieras lo obligaron a firmar un trato para convertirse en parte de la nueva Universidad Estatal de Cleveland.

Hamilton County Justice Center

The Hamilton County Justice Center is the main county jail branch for Hamilton County, Ohio. It is serviced by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. The facility is located at 1000 Sycamore Street in the central business district of Cincinnati. Building The Hamilton County Justice Center was built in 1985 at an expense of $54 million. The complex consists of two brutalist-style twin towers, each of which rise ten floors. The jail twin towers are connected to each other by a windowless skywalk. Direct access to the jail from the Hamilton County Courthouse (across the street) is afforded by another skywalk passing over Sycamore Street. In 2013, the jail held an average 1424 prisoners daily, and an estimated 55,000 annually, making it one of the 25 largest jails in the U.S. Several artifacts taken from the Cincinnati Work House and Hospital, a former 19th-century jail, are on display at the Hamilton County Justice Center. History On May 31, 2020, an American flag was removed from the building and replaced with a "thin blue line" flag, in response to the protests to the murder of George Floyd. It was later reported that the American flag was first stolen, despite images to the contrary. The blue line flag was taken down. That same summer, many protesters arrested during the protests in violation of the city's curfew were forced to wait in the Justice Center upwards of 10 hours after their arrest, without access to restrooms, water or food. In December 2025, the city of Cincinnati and Hamilton county agreed to pay $8.2 million to protesters affected. References
Holy Rosary Church (Cleveland)

Holy Rosary Catholic Church is a historic Catholic parish church in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Founded in the early 1890s, the parish completed the present Baroque-styled church shortly before 1910; the building has been named a historic site. History By the early 1890s, a strong Italian immigrant community had been formed along Mayfield Road on the eastern edge of Cleveland, and priests from the nearby community of East Cleveland began ministering to these immigrants. Their efforts saw success: the Diocese of Cleveland formed Holy Rosary parish in 1892, and the first church building was erected by the year's end. Although Italian ties were strong in the community, they soon began to assimilate; religious education for children was offered at the church as early as 1896. At one time, Holy Rosary was one of approximately fifty national parishes in Cleveland, due to the city's rapid growth via European immigration; it was the first Italian parish in the city. The members arranged for the present building to be erected in 1905, although four years passed before it was ready for consecration. Architecture, construction and design Many of Holy Rosary's earliest members were stone cutters, but their church does not reflect their craft: its walls are brick. The foundation is stone, and copper and stone are used for various external details. At the center of the facade, flights of stairs provide access to the double doors at the main entrance, above which two large arched windows are placed. The bays on the sides of the facade include large arched areas filled primarily with brick; only small arched windows and oculi penetrate these walls. Two belt courses, the lower more prominent than the upper, appear near the top of the facade; one is interrupted by the large arch windows above the entrance, while the other sits immediately above them. Numerous statues stand atop the facade at its significant points, while the building's eastern corner is topped by a domed cupola. Status on National Register of Historic Places In 1976, Holy Rosary Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its architecture and its place in the community's history. It is one of several national parishes with this designation in the city, along with St. Elizabeth's (Hungarian), St. Michael's (German), St. Stanislaus' (Polish), and St. Stephen's (German).
