Title	Ohio Historical Society Time Capsule Photographs
Subject	Ohio Government Architecture Arts and Entertainment Ohio Historical Society Museums Archives Libraries
Place	Columbus (Ohio) Franklin County (Ohio)
Description	Three photographs document the creation of a time capsule in celebration of the opening of the Ohio Historical Center in August 1970. The first photographs shows Governor James Rhodes inscribing a parchment for insertion into the time capsule, while one of his grandchildren looks on. Two other photographs show the governor assisting Ohio Historical Society President J.A. Mackstroth and Director Daniel R. Porter in placing items into the capsule. The final two photographs document the placement of the time capsule beneath the floor of the Arthur C. Johnson Auditorium foyer at the Ohio Historical Center by the Society's trustees and officers. Pictured from left to right, front row are: Charles E. Frohman, John A. Lloyd, Clay Littick, Gilbert W. Dilley, William H. Vodrey, Jr., J.A. Meckstroth, Fred J. Milligran, Sr. In the second row are: Wayne J. Graf, Martin Essex, Harold J. Grimm, Dr. Warren G. Harding, Joseph R. Fawcett, Daniel R. Porter, Don E. Weaver. In the third row are: Jerry Kaltenbach and Governor James Rhodes. The last photograph shows Governor Rhodes, OHS Director Daniel Porter, and OHS President J.A. Meckstroth placing the seal over the time capsule. Governor Rhodes' grandchildren are on the left. W. Byron Ireland & Associates, a Columbus architectural firm, designed the Ohio Historical Center building. The building is an example of "Brutalism" a rational, structuralist, monumental style exported in the early 1950s by French and British architects. Distinguished by its structural honesty and undisguised, blunt use of materials, Brutalism departed from conventional bourgeois styles. Stone and marble were rejected in favor of form-textured concrete, or beton brut, a technique employed by the French architect LeCorbusier. Founded in 1885, the Ohio Historical Society conducts a range of activities related to interpreting, collecting and preserving the state's heritage. In the last century, the society has collected more than 1.5 million items pertaining to Ohio's history, archaeology, and natural history. The Society's services include managing the state archives, administering the state's historic preservation office, and operating a network of historic sites and museums.
