Title	Ohio Penitentiary Photographs
Subject	Ohio Government Architecture Prisons Prisoners Electrocution Cameras Barbershops Television Receivers and reception Athletic fields Henry, O., 1862-1910
Place	Columbus (Ohio) Franklin County (Ohio)
Description	Seven photographs circa 1969-1970 document the Ohio Penitentiary located at 254 West Spring Street in Columbus. They measure 5 by 7 inches (12.70 by 17.78 cm). Shown are the Death House, electric chair, dormitories, Identification Department photograph area, barber shop, and O. Henry Athletic Field. In 1885, the legislature required all executions to take place at the Ohio Pen rather than in the county where the crime occurred. The Death House was built in 1913 to house the electric chair, which was first used to carry out death sentences in 1897. The prison baseball field was named for famous author O. Henry (William Sydney Porter), who was imprisoned at the Ohio Penitentiary in the late 1890s on embezzlement charges.
