  • Building Stones of Ohio's Capitols
    he aspirations and accomplishments of a state are often reflected in the Tpublic buildings it conceives and constructs. A state capitol is not only a place where important government functions are performed, but it is often a focal point of civic pride. Ohio has been fortunate to have beautiful and durable building stones, excellent clays and shales to make brick, and skilled masons to construct statehouses that embody the spirit of Ohio’s citizens. In the more than 200-year history of Ohio, four statehouses have been erected that represented the vision of Ohio’s future. Ohio’s First Statehouse in Chillicothe A very early use of Ohio stone for building purposes occurred in 1800, when construction began on the first statehouse in Chillicothe, located approximately 45 miles south of Columbus in Ross County. Chillicothe was chosen as Ohio’s first capital because of its central location on two 2 011 important early transportation corridors, Zane’s Trace and the Scioto River; because it was the largest city in the state at the By Mark E. Wolfe E. Mark By time; and because it was home to influential Educational Leafl et No. 19 Educational Leafl Ohio politicians. The two-story stone building is believed to be the first public, stone structure erected in the North-west Territories. Major William Rutledge, a Revolutionary War veteran, supervised masonry work on the square, hipped roof and cupola-style building. Ohio’s first constitution was written there in 1802, and the building served as state capitol from 1803 to 1810 and again from 1812 to 1816, when the capital was temporarily relocated from Zanesville.

    INFORMATION TO USERS Tliis reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us tor microfilming. While the most advanced technology lias been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "targ et" fo r pages apparently lacking from the docum ent photographed is "Missing Paget 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 com plete c o n tin u ity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map. drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer 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.
