Olentangy Amusement Park & Lost Weekend Records Stained Glass If you stood at the intersections of Crestview Avenue and High Street in 1893 and looked west you would have see the entrance to Olentangy Amusement Park. First opened as The Villa in 1893, residents at that time classified it as a beer garden. In 1896, the Columbus Street and Railroad Company bought the property and renamed it Olentangy Park. In 1899, the Dussenbury brothers purchased the park. They were responsible for the construction of the theater, dance pavilion and amusement rides such as the loop the loop, shoot the chutes and the whirlwind. Four roller coasters graced the park as well as a pony ride, a train ride and a carousel. The brothers purchased Fair Japan from the St. Louis Exposition. It was a village in and of itself featuring a Japanese garden, wishing bridge and tea house. In 1923, the Park was purchased by the Olentangy Amusement Company and managed by Max Stern. In 1938, L.L. LeVeque redeveloped the property into the Olentangy Village apartments which stand there today. Before you continue on, make sure to look for the blue and purple stained glass windows on the private residence next to Lost Weekend Records at 17 Crestview Avenue. Not original to the building, the glass represents the type of quirky modern embellishments you can find throughout many South Clintonville homes. 411. 1910 Bungalow at 45 East Crestview The home at 45 East Crestview was built in 1910 in the Bungalow style has and looks completely unique from other homes on the street.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

Note this excerpt, seldom surpassed in beauty of thought and diction, from his address to Governor Stevens: Why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people? Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant — but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend with friend cannot be exempt from the common destiny.

Redacted Signature Instructor in charf;& Redacted Signature Sept ember, 19 50 'For tne department PREFACE In the following thesis the author has attempted to give a general,. and when deemed.essential, a specific picture of the theatre in early day Wichita. By "theatre" is meant a.11 that passed for stage entertainment in the halls and shm1 houses in the city• s infancy, principally during the 70' s and 80 1 s when the city was still very young,: up to the hey-day of the legitimate theatre which reached. its peak in the 90' s and the first ~ decade of the new century. The author has not only tried to give an over- all picture of the theatre in early day Wichita, but has attempted to show that the plays presented in the theatres of Wichita were representative of the plays and stage performances throughout the country. The years included in the research were from 1872 to 1920. There were several factors which governed the choice of these dates. First, in 1872 the city was incorporated, and in that year the first edition of the Wichita Eagle was printed. Second, after 1920 a great change began taking place in the-theatre. There were various reasons for this change.
