German, Irish, and Eastern European settlers flocked to the city eager for work in its many mills, meat packing factories, and other manufacturing plants. The Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College was founded in 1870 and would later become modern-day Ohio State University.
Bird’s eye perspectives were produced to attract residents and merchants alike by highlighting a city’s notable spaces, civil building, educational institutions, and prominent business.
