  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Standing Right Here: the Built Environment As a Tool for Historical Inquiry
    Standing Right Here: The Built Environment as a Tool for Historical Inquiry A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of History, College of Arts and Sciences by Anne Delano Steinert October 2020 M.A. University of Cincinnati, 2015 M.S. Columbia University, 1995 B.A. Goucher College, 1992 Committee Chair: Tracy Teslow, PhD Abstract The built environment is an open archive—a twenty-four-hour museum of the past. The tangible, experiential nature of the urban built environment—streets, valleys, buildings, and bridges—helps historians uncover stories not always accessible in textual sources. The richness of the built environment gives historians opportunities to: invigorate their practice with new tools to uncover the stories of the past, expand the historical record with new understandings, and reach a wider audience with histories that feel relevant and meaningful to a broad range of citizens. This dissertation offers a sampling of material, methods and motivations historians can use to analyze the built environment as a source for their important work. Each of the five chapters of this dissertation uses the built environment to tell a previously unknown piece of Cincinnati’s urban history. The first chapter questions the inconvenient placement of the 1867 Roebling Suspension Bridge and uncovers the story of the ferry owner who recognized the bridge as a threat to his business. Chapter two explores privies, the outdoor toilets now missing from the built environment, and their use as sites for women to terminate pregnancies through abortion and infanticide.

  • Introduction to Betty & Connie's OVER-THE-RHINE Tour Guide
    Constance Lee Menefee and Betty Ann Smiddy 2008 [email protected] Introduction to betty & connie’s OVER-THE-RHINE tour guide Cincinnati was incorporated as a frontier town in 1802. Its growth into a thriving industrial city was assured when the first steamboat was launched on the Ohio River in 1812. It was the Ohio River, plus access to key resources for building and manufacturing like iron, coal, timber, limestone, and clay, that established Cincinnati as a major business center by the mid-1800’s. Industry thrived: Cincinnati became home to soap and glycerin works, cooperages, lumber yards, foundries, stone yards, tanneries, meat packing houses, silversmiths, tinners, cabinetmakers, machine makers, boot and shoe makers, printers, potters, and many breweries, peaking at 36 by 1860.1 The central business district became crowded with a variety of businesses willing to pay high rents for access to the river. Later arrivals were pushed north, into a basin area that had the Miami-Erie Canal – the “Rhine” – as a rough south and west boundary. This basin area became a significant port of entry for increasing numbers of eastern Europeans who were fleeing war, conscription, economic depression, and feudalistic land inheritance laws. As the German-speaking community grew, the area across the canal became known as “Over-the-Rhine.” The neighborhood was at once profoundly connected to the economic life of the city and separate in its strong European culture. Every block had businesses that provided the service and product necessities of life. To the Germans, that included churches, good food, and wholesome beer. A nickel beer bought a free buffet lunch.

  • Cincinnati Streetcar: Phase I Cultural Resources Investigations
    Project No. 10-6301.001 Cincinnati Streetcar: Phase I Cultural Resources Investigations Lead Agency: Federal Transit Administration Prepared for: Parsons Brinckerhoff 312 Elm Street, Suite 2500 Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 Contact: Jennifer Graf (513) 639-2145 Prepared by: Douglas Owen, M.A., Architectural Historian Gray & Pape, Inc. 1318 Main Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 (513) 287-7700 _____________________________ Patrick O’Bannon, Ph.D. Project Manager February 2011 ABSTRACT This report presents the results of a Phase I History/Architecture survey conducted by Gray & Pape, Inc., of Cincinnati, Ohio, on behalf of Parsons Brinckerhoff of Cincinnati, Ohio, for the proposed Cincinnati Streetcar project in Hamilton County, Ohio. The City of Cincinnati is sponsoring the development of a streetcar transit system to serve as an urban circulator for the downtown area and adjoining neighborhoods. The City has identified streetcar transit as a potential tool for improving local circulation, supporting sustainable community and economic development, and complementing other components of the local and regional transportation system. The project will be partially funded by federal grants, administered through the Federal Transit Administration, therefore requiring compliance with the Section 106 consultation process, as defined in 36 CFR 800. Gray & Pape defined an Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the undertaking that encompasses all parcels fronting the proposed streetcar routes. The APE is characterized by a dense, urban concentration of commercial and residential buildings located in Cincinnati’s Central Business District and the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. The literature review for this project entailed an examination of the Ohio Historic Preservation Office’s Online Mapping System and the City of Cincinnati’s CAGIS mapping system.

Santa Barbara, CA: Greenwood, [2015]. Includes references to Quakers.

York: Quacks Books, 2015. This is the author's study of his family origins which are principally rooted in the 17th century Quaker movement and which have flourished in many fields of endeavor over the past 350 years. Many examples are given of family members whose lives have impacted for the better the world in which we live. Whilst the names of Barlow, Nicholson, Neild, Cash, Bowly, Fry, Cadbury & Barber, are writ with greater prominence, there are many other families mentioned, who are of equal merit and distinction, and together make for a study that illustrates by example, the scope of their family connections.
