William H. McGuffey House

The William H. McGuffey House is a historic house museum at 401 East Spring Street, on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, United States. Built in 1833, it was the home of author and professor William Holmes McGuffey (1800–1873) from then until 1836. It is believed to be the site where he wrote the first four of the McGuffey Readers, widely popular instructional texts used to educate generations of Americans. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. It is now operated by Miami University as the William Holmes McGuffey Museum. Description and history The William H. McGuffey House is located southeast of uptown Oxford, at the southeast corner of East Spring and South Oak Streets. It is a two-story brick structure with a gabled roof, and a two-story wood-frame ell extending behind it. The main roof line has a bracketed cornice in the front, and the side gables are adorned with Gothic style drip moulding. A single-story porch extends across the front, with a flat roof supported by four Tuscan columns, and a spindled balustrade. The main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the left bay, topped by a transom window. The interior has a restored 19th-century appearance, and includes artifacts generally of that period, as well as items specific to the ownership of William H. McGuffey. The house was built in 1833 for William H. McGuffey, then a professor at Miami University. McGuffey had an abiding interest in public education, and it is here that he began to produce and publish the McGuffey Readers, a series of graded instructional texts. These were hugely popular, selling millions of copies nationwide, and were used by schools as instructional texts into the 20th century. McGuffey only lived here until 1836, when he moved to Athens. The house then went through a succession of owners, before it was acquired by the university and restored as a historic house museum. See also William H.

William Winter Stone House

The William Winter Stone House is a historic residence in Clermont County, Ohio, United States. Constructed at the dawn of the nineteenth century (in 1803), it was home to some of the area's first settlers, and it has been named a historic site. Born in Virginia, Mordecai Winters and his family moved to the Northwest Territory at the end of the eighteenth century, becoming established in Williamsburg by 1800. Mordecai was a revolutionary war veteran who also survived being scalped as an adult. The first resident of the house, William Winter, was Mordecai's son; both father and son lived together in the house following its completion. The house ceased to be used solely for residential purposes during the middle of the 20th century. From 1848 until 1880, the Mount Olive post office operated out of the kitchen, and a general store was run out of a back addition that was constructed circa 1850. Despite its name, the William Winter Stone House is not completely built of stone; the two-story walls are composed of some stone sections and some brick, with a metal roof and elements of wood and stone. Chimneys sit atop the roofline at both ends of the house's gabled roof. The three-bay facade is pierced by five windows, in addition to a door with four-piece transom light in the center of the first story. In addition to the frame general store addition, the house employs wood for much of the interior; the original black walnut woodworking is still largely present. The overall design is largely typical of the Federal style of architecture. In early 1977, the William Winter Stone House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its architecture and because of its place as the home of a leading local citizen, William Winter. For much of its history, the house has been an informal landmark for locals, both because of its architecture and because of its significant commercial role in what was once a remote part of the county.

Williams Hall (Miami University)

Williams Hall was an academic building on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, United States. It housed the university's journalism and communications departments, as well as WMUB-FM. History Williams Hall was constructed in 1959 primarily for the use of the communication department at Miami University and for the use of WMUB studios, Miami's campus radio broadcasting station. Prior to the completion of Williams Hall, all broadcasting equipment was housed on the second floor of Harrison Hall. After completion of Williams Hall, the classrooms were cramped due to the need to soundproof rooms for WMUB. Also, Williams Hall only had one bathroom in the entire building. This space proved to be too limited for the direction WMUB and Miami University were headed. In 1984, Miami University acquired a state-funded grant to renovate the mass communications department in Williams Hall. The $2.2–million grant was appropriated for renovations and additions to the building. The project involved adding and enlarging classrooms, accumulating more restrooms, and building internal and external accesses for the handicapped. This addition was needed for the increase in students and courses in the communication department since the opening of Williams Hall. After receiving this grant from the state, Miami University began making plans to complete the project by early 1986. At the same time that construction was happening on Williams Hall, Gaskill, Boyd, and Robertson halls were also being modernized, totaling a $6.5 million renovation. Williams Hall ended up using $3.1 million of this (including the $2.2 million grant) because of changes needed to meet stricter codes. In addition to enlarging classroom size, Miami also wanted to enhance Williams Hall to look more like a Miami building. They lowered the building to allow for entry at all floor levels. Due to the expansion, the parking lot around Williams was significantly reduced. Additionally, asbestos was removed from the building for health reasons. Construction was completed on Williams Hall in time for the 1988–89 school year. The communications department was moved into the building to accommodate the students and faculty in this field. In 1988, Miami University again received a federal grant, this time for WMUB-FM from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for $1,998. The money was invested in "tune-in" advertising in order to have people tune into the programs by WMUB. WMUB moved to Williams Hall in 1989, after Williams Hall was re-opened. There were complications in wiring and installation of equipment that caused the postponement. Upon completion of Williams Hall, a dedication ceremony took place in 1989. All speakers at the ceremony were alumni of Miami's mass communication department. Williams Hall was demolished in June 2026. References

Williams Stadium, on the Campus of Wilmington College in Wilmington, Ohio, is a 3,500-seat multi-purpose football stadium that is home to the Wilmington College Quakers football, men's and women's soccer, and men's and women's lacrosse teams. History Wilmington College football has been played at Townsend Field since 1900. Williams Stadium was constructed in 1983, which increased seating capacity to 3,500. Beckett Track and Field facility was added in 1994. In 2008, the Townsend Field playing field was resurfaced with synthetic turf and new lighting was installed, allowing for night games to be played at the College. Along with the Wilmington College Quakers football team playing on Townsend field at Williams Stadium, Wilmington College's new Lacrosse teams began play on the field in the spring of 2013.

SS Col. James M. Schoonmaker

Le Col. James M. Schoonmaker, anciennement Willis B. Boyer, est un cargo lacustre qui a servi de navire commercial sur les Grands Lacs pendant une grande partie du XXe siècle. Nommé en l'honneur du récipiendaire de la Medal of Honor James Martinus Schoonmaker (en), il est actuellement un navire-musée à Toledo dans l'Ohio, exposé au Musée national des Grands Lacs. Historique Le bateau à vapeur Col. James M. Schoonmaker a vu le jour le 1er juillet 1911 aux Great Lakes Engineering Works (en) à Ecorse dans le Michigan. Au moment de sa mise à l'eau il prit le titre de Queen of the Lakes (en) qui est donné au plus gros navire sur les Grands Lacs. Il est d'abord devenu le fleuron de la Shenango Furnace Company . il a battu de nombreux records de fret pour le minerai de fer, les céréales et le charbon au cours de sa première année. Il était propulsé par une machine à vapeur à triple expansion qui a été remplacée par une turbine à vapeur en 1955. Il a navigué dans le cadre de la flotte Shenango jusqu'en 1969, date à laquelle il a été vendu à l' Interlake Steamship Company qui a affrété le Col James M. Schoonmaker à la Republic Steel Corporation. Après une charte de trois ans à cette société, Interlake a décidé de la vendre à la Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Co., qui a renommé le navire Willis B. Boyer en l'honneur du président de la société. Ils ont exploité le vraquier pendant 7 ans dans le commerce du fer jusqu'à ce qu'il soit désarmé en 1980 en raison d'un ralentissement de l'industrie sidérurgique. Préservation 7 ans plus tard, la ville de Toledo a décidé d'acheter Willis B. Boyer pour l'utiliser comme musée. Le navire a été la pièce maîtresse du Parc International de la ville pendant plusieurs décennies avant d'être rebaptisé sous son nom d'origine, Col. James M. Schoonmaker et d'être déplacé une dernière fois sur le site du Musée national des Grands Lacs sur les rives du la rivière Maumee à Toledo. Le 17 décembre 2009, le conseil d'administration de l'autorité portuaire du comté de Lucas a autorisé un protocole d'accord avec la Great Lakes Historical Society de Vermilion, pour la création du Musée national des Grands Lacs au Toledo Maritime Center. Willis B. Boyer a été repeint aux couleurs de la flotte Shenango Furnace et, le 1er juillet 2011, rebaptisé sous son nom d'origine. En octobre 2012, le Col. James M. Schoonmaker a été remorqué en aval jusqu'à son nouveau poste d'amarrage à côté du musée. Le musée a ouvert ses portes au printemps 2014.

Wilson's Sandwich Shop

Wilson's Sandwich Shop is a restaurant located in Findlay, OH, founded by the owner of the Kewpee Hamburger restaurant in Lima, OH. It is a local institution, known for its square hamburgers, called "hamburgs", and frozen malts. Patrons can get in touch with the community at Wilson's. It is even known as a regular stop for local Courier reporters getting "man-on-the-street perspectives". Various celebrities and politicians have visited throughout the restaurant's history, including singer Johnny Mathis, U.S. Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio, former Vice President Dan Quayle, and President Joe Biden (while vice presidential candidate in 2008). History In 1936, with a Kewpee already located in Findlay, Ohio, Hoyt “Stub” Wilson, the Lima Kewpee licensee, opened a restaurant in Findlay called Wilson's Sandwich Shop. The original building was yellow and the width of a subway car and could host up to 32 diners. It was an example of the "enamel and steel" road food culture. Due to World War II meat rationing, all three of Hoyt Wilson's restaurants added the "Veggie", a special without the meat patty and a historically notable vegetable sandwich. Hoyt Wilson's estate sold ownership of Wilson's in the 1960s to three managers: Wilbur Fenbert, Harold "Lance" Baker, and Woodie Curtis. In the mid-1960s, a new building was constructed. The original building stayed open, but was moved to the back of the lot. With the deaths of Baker and Curtis, their spouses took over their ownership interests. In 2008, then vice presidential candidate Joe Biden stopped at Wilson's while on the campaign trail. Wilson's faced possible closure in 2009 due to the 2008 financial crisis and OSHA fines for their hamburger patty-molding machine's potential pinching and electrical shock hazards. With training and safety precautions not affordable, then-manager Mike Fenbert ceased using the machine and began purchasing premade patties. By March 2010, a new patty machine was purchased to make the patties in house once again. By 2011, Maxie Curtis was replaced as an owner by Pam Balmer and her sister, Mary Ann Cramer, joining the other two co-owners. By May 2015, Wilson's changed its menu, adding breakfast items, while dropping shredded chicken, pulled pork, and salad (including slaw) and removing slaw from the "Wilson Dog". In February 2016, Wilbur Fenbert died. In August 2019, Pat Baker died. References
Wilson-Gibson House

The Wilson-Gibson House is a historic residence in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the middle of the 19th century, it features a mix of two prominent architectural styles, and it has been named a historic site. The lot currently located at 425 Oak Street was originally part of a subdivision known as "Vernon Village". Although the property was first owned by John Frazier, James Wilson bought it in 1859 at sheriff's sale and soon began construction on the site. Soon after its completion in the following year, Wilson's brother moved into the new house and lived in it for thirteen years, vacating it only at his death. Among the later owners was Louis Hauck, whose daughter Katherine Gibson was the owner whose name is on the house. Built of brick on a stone foundation, the Wilson-Gibson House is a two-and-a-half-story residence with walls full of shuttered windows. Unusually, it mixes components of two popular architectural styles that overlapped but little: the earlier Federal style and the later Neoclassical style. Cincinnati architectural historians have suggested that the house is patterned after the Taft Museum of Art downtown; both buildings are brick Federal structures with fanlights and sidelights around their grand double doors, paired internal chimneys, and six-over-six windows. In 1976, the Wilson-Gibson House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. One of nearly 250 Cincinnati locations on the Register, it qualified for inclusion based on its distinctive historic architecture. References
Windsor Mills Covered Bridge

Windsor Mills Bridge, also known as Wiswell Road Bridge or Warner Hollow Road Bridge, is a covered bridge that carries Covered Bridge Lane, formerly Wiswell Road, across Phelps Creek in Windsor Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. The bridge, one of currently 17 drivable bridges in the county, is a single-span Town truss design. The bridge was built in 1867 using white pine. It sits atop cut stone abutments, one made of sandstone quarried nearby, and the other made of creek stone. The bridge was bypassed in the 1960s and closed to traffic, and Wiswell Road was rerouted west of the creek. In the 1980s, the bridge was completely closed due to safety reasons. It underwent extensive renovation from 2002 to 2004, and was then reopened to all traffic, except for trucks and buses. The bridge is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge's WGCB number is 35-04-25, and it is located approximately 5.0 mi (8.0 km) west of Orwell. History 1867 – Bridge constructed. 2002-04 – Bridge renovated. 2004 – Bridge rededicated.
