Lebanon Marker 15 - City Hall Site

Lebanon, Ohio

 

This image is part of a project to photograph the Historical Markers in Lebanon, OH. Check out the album for the series.

The downtown commercial district of Lebanon is on the National Register of Historic Sites as are a of couple specific buildings. There are about 30 sites with markers out front placed by the Rotary Club. My goal of the project is to include one image of each marked site in the album. It could be a full image or some detail. I'm also trying (to the best of my ability) to make a good, interesting photograph and not just a snap shot or just "documentation" of each site. That is one reason it is taking me so long. It has taken me much longer than planned to finish the project.

"The city building is Colonial Revival in style and was modeled after the chapel at Dennison University. It was dedicated in May of 1934. Two years earlier, the Opera House, built here 1878, burned down on Christmas morning. this is also where the county's first courthouse was constructed in 1805."
