Allen County Courthouse (Ohio)

The Allen County Courthouse is an historic courthouse building located at the corner of North Main Street & East North Street in Lima, Ohio, United States. In 1974, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. History Allen County was formed in 1820 and Lima was selected as the county seat. The first courthouse was a simple log structure consisting of two floors, a small hipped roof and a single chimney. The courthouse served the county until 1840 when the county realized the space was not adequate for the growing population. A contest was announced and seventeen bids were submitted. The contract was awarded to Orlando Boughton and was designed in the Classical Revival style. The amount was $13,325 and construction was underway. The courthouse was two stories tall and was built out of brick and stone. Pilasters lined the facade between the long windows with dark shutters. The entrance was framed with four fluted Doric columns supporting a portico. A square drum rose from the roof and supported large rectangular windows capped with a dome ending in a weather vane. The tower contained a large bell which rang periodically through the years, including the 14th of April in 1865 in honor of the slain president, Abraham Lincoln. The courthouse standing today is the county's third. It was built between 1881 and 1884 at a cost of $360,000 by architect George H. Maetzel. The courthouse was designed in the Second Empire style, popular at the time. Exterior The stone foundation is smooth sandstone. The ground floor has recessed rectangular windows. The southern center pavilion projects from the facade and is flanked by mansard-roofed towers which used to be topped with windows. A statue of an eagle once topped the pediment. The main entrance is reached by a flight of stairs and a small landing leading to a story arch. The windows of the main floor are high rectangular panels, the windows on the floor above are high arched panes. Above the main entrance rises a pediment that was once topped by the statue of Justice. The tower rises above the roof and consists of two bases stacked one on top the other. A dome with a four faced clock sits on the base. The dome narrows to a small spire. In the 1990s the courthouse was remodeled and updated. At this time the new Justice Center was built next door. The two buildings are connected by an overhead walkway. The new addition was constructed in the same colors to match the courthouse and houses a jail, several courtrooms and the sheriff's administrative offices.

Alms Park

Frederick H. Alms Memorial Park (often shortened to Alms Park) is an urban park located in the Mt. Lookout and Columbia-Tusculum neighborhoods of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is owned and operated by the Cincinnati Park Board, and its entrance is located at 650 Tusculum Avenue. History In 1916, 85 acres (34 ha) of land was donated to the city by Mrs. Frederick H. Alms on the condition a park be established in honor of her late husband. The land was originally owned by Nicholas Longworth, once the wealthiest man in Cincinnati and patriarch of the Longworth family. The landscaping was designed by the Cleveland, Ohio, landscape architect Albert Davis Taylor. The park's centerpiece, a pavilion in the Italian Renaissance style, was completed in 1929 by architects Stanley Matthews and Charles Wilkins Short, Jr. A bronze statue of Stephen Foster, author of "My Old Kentucky Home", was installed in Alms Park in 1937. It faces south, towards the hills of Kentucky. References
Alumni Hall (Miami University)

Alumni Hall, formerly known as Alumni Library, is an academic building at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. It currently houses the university's Department of Architecture and Interior Design and the Wertz Art and Architecture Library. A Lombardic Romanesque building, Alumni Hall was built in 1910 and was funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. History The university, founded in 1809, initially housed its library in a room in Old Main, the main building on campus. As time passed and space ran out in Old Main, the university sought a grant from the Andrew Carnegie Corporation to build a new library on campus. On March 13, 1905, Andrew Carnegie offered the university a $40,000 grant if the university could match the amount with its own $40,000 towards the building. In 1908 the university finished raising the money and the building began. Frank Packard from Columbus, Ohio was hired as the architect and construction began in 1909. The building was inspired by Classical Roman architecture and when it opened in 1910, it consisted of a main reading room for 192 people, a periodical room, a few classrooms, faculty rooms a multi-tier stacks for 150,000 volumes. Building extensions By the end of 1911 all the shelf space for the library was full and planning began for an addition to the building. In 1922 funding from the university and the Carnegie Corporation enable an Eastern wing designed by Ralph Ridley to be added to the existing building. This addition included a main reference room, reading room and more stacks. The next addition that came in 1951 where a West wing was added to the building, thus making it once again symmetrical. Designed by Potter Tyler & Martin this addition was funded by the State of Ohio and added more stacks to the building. At the completion of King Library, the university's current main library, in 1972, the university's Department of Architecture took residence in the building. In 1997 Thomas H. Beeby was commissioned to do the most recent and extensive renovation of the building. What used to be the main stacks on the southern side of the building was turned into an atrium and a southern wing was added to the building. Today the building houses the Department of Architecture and Interior Design studios, support spaces, offices and the Wertz Art and Architecture Library. Miscellaneous A bronze copy of Jean-Antoine Houdon's statue of George Washington located in the rotunda of the Virginia State Capitol stands in the Alumni Hall rotunda. The statue was given to the university in 1920 by Samuel Spahr Laws, Miami class of 1848. Alumni Hall is also attributed as the inspiration behind Marian Boyd Havighurst's 1934 mystery novel, Murder in the Stacks and sequences from the film Little Man Tate, directed by and starring Jodie Foster, were filmed within the rotunda for Alumni Hall.

Amherst Township, Ohio

Amherst Township is one of the eighteen townships of Lorain County, Ohio, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population was 6,492. Geography Located in northern Lorain County, it borders the following townships and cities: Amherst - northwest Lorain - northeast Elyria Township - east Elyria - southeast Carlisle Township - southeast corner New Russia Township - south Henrietta Township - southwest corner Brownhelm Township - west The city of Amherst occupies what was northwestern Amherst Township, and part of the village of South Amherst lies in the southwestern part of the township. Name and history It is the only township named "Amherst" statewide. Amherst Township was established as a judicially-independent township in 1830, and named after Amherst, New Hampshire. It had been originally created as "Town(ship) number 6 in the 18th Range" (of the Connecticut Western Reserve); but prior to 1830, it was judicially attached to "Black River township". Its first pioneer-settlement began in 1812, when Jacob Shupe built a gristmill on his farm in its northern section. And although many additional pioneers settled throughout the other portions of the township in the 1810s and 1820s, but the actual village of Amherst was not officially established until 1836. By the mid-20th-century, that village eventually encompassed most of the northern half of the original township. Government The township is governed by a three-member board of trustees, who are elected in November of odd-numbered years to a four-year term beginning on the following January 1. Two are elected in the year after the presidential election and one is elected in the year before it. There is also an elected township fiscal officer, who serves a four-year term beginning on April 1 of the year after the election, which is held in November of the year before the presidential election. Vacancies in the fiscal officership or on the board of trustees are filled by the remaining trustees. The current trustees are Dennis Abraham, Neil Lynch, and David Urig.

Armory–Latisona Building

The Armory–Latisona Building (also known as the "Mihlbaugh Building") is a historic armory on South Main Street in Lima, Ohio, United States. Built in 1896, it features a Victorian variant of the Romanesque Revival style of architecture. Construction After the discovery of petroleum in the vicinity of Lima in 1885, the city's population grew greatly, and the construction of commercial buildings along South Main Street proceeded at a rapid pace. Accompanying these new buildings in the southern Kibby Corners neighborhood were large numbers of frame houses erected as homes for the workers in the city's burgeoning industrial enterprises. Preservation Today, much of South Main Street and Kibby Corners languish in a state of decay. Many abandoned buildings have been demolished by the city government, and community areas such as parks and streetsides are becoming less attractive as a result of a lack of proper maintenance. Two exceptions to this process of decay are the Armory–Latisona Building and the adjacent Lima Cleaning and Pressing Company Building; these two historic buildings have been identified as key to the area's historic nature. In 1982, the Armory–Latisona Building and the Lima Cleaning and Pressing Company Building were two of seventeen buildings in Lima that were added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the "Lima Multiple Resource Area." The former armory's architectural integrity was key to its inclusion in this group of properties. References
Armory Fieldhouse

Armory Fieldhouse is an on-campus facility located at the University of Cincinnati. It was built in 1954 to replace the old Schmidlapp Gymnasium, and originally was used as the home for the Bearcats men's basketball team, who opened the building with a 97–65 win over Indiana on December 18, 1954. It was the home of the team for their two NCAA titles in 1961 and 1962, as well as the site where Oscar Robertson broke the NCAA career scoring record on February 6, 1960, versus Houston. From December 6, 1957, the first home game of the season, to December 7, 1963, when they lost to Kansas, the team went undefeated in the building, a streak of 72 games. During that time, they won every home game played at the Cincinnati Gardens, for an overall streak of 90 straight home wins. The team's final game at the arena was February 14, 1976, a 60–45 win over Saint Louis University. From 1976 until the opening of the Shoemaker Center (now Fifth Third Arena) in 1989, the team played all their home games off-campus at the Riverfront Coliseum and Cincinnati Gardens. The building was remodeled in the 1980s to become a recreation center for the campus. It is located directly to the north of the Fifth Third Arena, located in (and formerly known as) the Shoemaker Center. Notable concerts The Grateful Dead played there on April 3, 1970. Pink Floyd performed there on 3/8/73, just 7 days after The Dark Side of the Moon was released, though they had already performed the album at the Cincinnati Music Hall on 4/23/72. Billy Joel played his first show in Cincinnati at Armory Fieldhouse on May 7, 1974. References
Armstrong Chapel United Methodist Church

Armstrong Chapel United Methodist Church is a historic church in the city of Indian Hill, Ohio, United States. Built in 1831, it is a small rectangular building with a prominent front tower. It was designated a historic site in 1975. Nathanial and Hannah Armstrong, formerly residents of Virginia, arrived in southwestern Ohio in 1800; they soon built a log cabin and gristmill on their land and began farming. By this time, occasional circuit-riding ministers of the Methodist Church were visiting the area, but the settlers worshipped in each others' homes because there were no church buildings nearby. As this situation continued for decades, in 1830 Armstrong donated one of the best pieces of his land for the construction of a church and cemetery. The church was erected in the summer of 1831 under the leadership of Samuel Earhart; its walls, built of brick, were constructed from locally made bricks whose clay originated on Earhart's property. The adjacent cemetery had already been founded; its first burial was Hannah Armstrong, who had died four years before the church's completion in the fall of 1831. Nathanial Armstrong provided that the church be made available for the use of whichever denomination had the greatest number of members in the vicinity. Both at that time and at all times since, the church has been used by Methodists. Relatively few changes have been made to the building since its construction; a tower was added in 1890, but only minor repairs have been carried out otherwise. Although the foundation was built of fieldstones and held together by soil rather than mortar, it has moved only slightly; a restoration performed in the 1970s demonstrated that the building had settled just 2 inches (51 mm) in 140 years. In late 1975, Armstrong Chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the name of "United Methodist Church." It is one of five sites in Indian Hill that is listed on the National Register, along with the Elliott House, the Jefferson Schoolhouse, the Gordon E. Pape House, and the Washington Heights School. Armstrong qualified for inclusion on the Register because of its place in local history, because of its connection to locally prominent individual Nathanial Armstrong, and because of its well-preserved historic architecture. The historic site designation encompassed the Armstrong cemetery, as well as the church building. Today, Armstrong Chapel continues as an active congregation of the United Methodist Church. As the congregation grew in the early twenty-first century, a new building was deemed necessary; a groundbreaking ceremony was held at the end of August 2009, and the new structure was substantially completed in October of the following year.

Aronoff Center

The Aronoff Center is a large performing arts center in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. The Aronoff Center hosts plays, ballet, popular music concerts, stand-up comedy shows, and musicals. The center was designed by architect César Pelli and named in honor of Cincinnati native and Ohio senator Stanley Aronoff. History The Aronoff Center was proposed in 1993; at the time of the proposal, some community members voiced concerns that a new concert venue would lead to the abandonment or destruction of Cincinnati Music Hall. Opponents included Patricia Corbett, wife of J. Ralph Corbett and Louise Nippert, who were large supporters of the arts in Cincinnati. At the time, Cincinnati lacked a modern music venue in downtown, with the nearby Taft Theater lacking air conditioning, preventing shows during the summer. Corbett later supported the center after meeting with the theater's committee, but Nippert remained opposed. Then President of the Ohio Senate, Stanley Aronoff, secured $40 million of funding for the project, which was originally set aside for an unrealized Broadway theater in Columbus, proposed by Les Wexner. The Aronoff Center was named in his honor. The Cincinnati Arts Association was formed in 1992, and oversees both Music Hall and the Aronoff Center. The center officially opened on October 21, 1995, with an opening gala that drew 60,000 visitors in the first week. In November 1995, the Aronoff saw its first Broadway show, with a performance of Miss Saigon. The show ran for 48 performances and was seen by over 100,000 visitors. In July 2012, the Aronoff hosted the World Choir Games, which drew nearly 30,000. During the summers of 2016 and 2017, the Cincinnati Opera played at the Aronoff due to the renovation of Music Hall. The Aronoff Center has subsequently been characterized as catalyzing development in downtown Cincinnati Facilities Performance facilities: Procter & Gamble Hall, the Aronoff Center's largest theater seating 2,719 Jarson-Kaplan Theater, a mid-size theater seating 437 Fifth Third Bank Theater, a studio theater which seats up to 150 Additional event areas: The Alice F. and Harris K.
