This was taken one day later than the b&w shot of the same scene. The light coming through a small leaded glass window in my front door is hitting the exact same spot as the day before. I like the warm colors it makes on my pale yellow walls.
The oil painting of an old French woman praying I did when I was 19 and a senior in high school. It's painted from a photograph I saw in Life magazine. We had an exhibition of all the work from the art classes and I won best of show with this painting!

The three nominated buildings cover one city block and adjoin one another. Together they represent the finest and earliest remaining commercial structures in Galion.
The earliest of the buildings is the Central Hotel (Ritchey House Hotel). Built in 1852 the brick structure was originally 2-1/2 stories in height, six bays wide and five bays deep. It measured 50' wide and 66' deep. In 1869 the building was enlarged to three stories and a three story brick addition was added to the west side for an additional 49' frontage. In 1898 two more three story wings were added to the rear. A wooden parapet was added to the roofline about 1910. Today the three-story brick hotel utilize s the original portion of the structure and the rear additions. The west portion of the facade (1869) houses two stores.
The hotel portion features 1/1 light windows which are 1972 replacements for the original which were 2/2. All windows have segmental arches with brick headers and plain stone sills . A band of corbeled brick arches decorates the area beneath the dentiled wood frieze. Plain wood brackets support the molded wood cornice. Above the cornice is a wood parapet. Cut-out panels alternate with solid panels in the parapet. Some of the open panels are damaged and are covered with tin . The frieze, brackets, cornice, and parapet; are painted white. The first floor is altered. The north face has two doors between which is a multi-paned hay window, one bricked-in window, and a rectangular multi-paned window. Originally this face had a door at the northeast comer and three windows (matching the windows above) to the right of the door. The east side has two doorways, a large multi-paned bay window, two 12/12 pane windows, and a large rectangular multi-paned window. Originally the entrance on this side was in the third bay from the northeast corner. There were four windows to the left of the entrance and two to the right. The various firs t floor windows and doorways are 1940's alterations. Also added in the 40's is a curved copper overhang which extends across the east and north sides and is placed between the first and second floors.
The 1869 portion of the hotel building now houses two shops. The north face is six bays wide. Windows are tall , round-arched with hoodmolds. The building shares the same band of brick corbeling, frieze, cornice, and parapet as the earlier portion of the hotel. The storefronts on the first floor have wide plate-glass windows. The store to the right has wood paneling above the windows. To the right of the building the storefront has a wide metal store sign above the windows. Both portions of the building had been painted for many years but the structure was sandblasted in 1972.
To the left of and contiguous with the southeast corner of the hotel is another large, three-story brick commercial building. It is known historically as the Hackedorn building. Built ca. 1865, the north face of the building is altered by modern glass tile and plate-glass windows. The upper stories are little altered. The second and third stories are divided into three recessed rectangles which are framed by plain brick bands. Within the center and left recess each floor has two 1/1 light windows. The right recess has three windows per floor. All windows have plain stone lintels and sills . Originally this separation into three portions was evident on the first floor also where there were three distinct storefronts.
The east side has five windows in the second and third floors. A fire escape was added to this side necessitating the third story window in the northeast corner and the center window of the second floor being changed into doorways opening onto the fire escape. The original entrance in the northeast corner of the first floor has been covered over by the modern storefront. The flattened hip roof features a bracketed, overhanging box cornice. A square lantern with small rectangular three-light windows on all sides is placed at the crest of the roof. The east and west sides of the building each had two tall interior chimneys. These have been shortened and are barely visible . To the rear of the building is a two-story flat-roofed brick addition.
To the right side of and adjoining the west side of the 1869 portion of the hotel building is the Zimmerman building. It was constructed in 1874 and is also built of brick and is three stories. The facade is less altered than the former two buildings. A center door on the street level leads to a stairway to the second and third story apartments (two per floor) . To either side of this center entry is a recessed doorway, each opening into a different store. Cast iron columns with Corinthian capitals divide the storefronts and doorways. There is a metal frieze between the first and second floors. The second and third stories each have six, 2/2 light windows. All windows have bracketed stone sills . Deep cornices are supported by carved brackets, and on each floor the six cornices are banded together with a continuous molding. Cornice moldings of the two floors vary. The window area is inset in a round-shouldered panel. The metal frieze is decoratively molded with semi-circular panels between the brackets. The west side has six 2/2 light windows with plain lintels and sills one both the second and third floors. The first floor is quite plain. It has a small rectangular window and a single door toward the rear of the building. There are five interior chimneys at the roofline. There is a one-story flat-roofed brick addition across the rear. A two-story frame porch and staircase addition rests on the brick addition and stretches across the second and third floors.
Located in Galion at the southwest corner of the public square, these three brick buildings are the most important of Gallon's early commercial buildings. They are all that remain of Gallon's past commercial boom which came during the 1860's when numerous railroads crossed through Galion and the town prospered from their trade. During this period the downtown developed rapidly and numerous brick commercial buildings and hotels were built. In 1851 Joel and David Riblet opened a dry goods store at the southwest corner of the public square. In 1852 Brown and McMillan leased the building and opened a hotel called the Western House. In subsequent years the inn was known as the Riblet House. When the building was enlarged in 1869, at the height of the
railroad prosperity, its name was changed to the Central Hotel. Proprietors at that date are listed as Cherry and Pomphrey. The hotel was said to have 66 sleeping rooms, three large sample rooms, and a 60 seat dining room. In 1940 it was purchased by Dean Talbott and extensively remodeled inside and out. It re-opened in 1941 as the Hotel Talbott. It was purchased by the Ritchey family in 1963.
The Hackedorn Building was completed in 1865 by N.E. Hackedorn and remained in the same family until 1952. A drug store has been operated in the corner store since 1865. Quay Drug Store now occupies the entire ground floor. The Western Union office was located here for many years and a union hall occupied the third floor until recently.
The Zimmerman Building was built in 1874. Daniel Zimmerman had to acquire the right to use the west wall of the Central Hotel, Investigation eventually showed that the 1869 addition of the hotel was on a portion of Zimmerman's property, so permission was granted to Zimmerman to use the west wall of the hotel. The building was owned by the Zimmerman family until 1922. It was sold to the Odd Fellows Lodge in 1928. The Odd Fellows sold the building in 1940.
Additional historical notes are associated with the hotel. Documentation at Milan, Ohio (birthplace of Thomas Edison) states that Thomas Edison was once a guest. Alexander Graham Bell is reported to have tested telephone equipment by running a line from room 201 to the old Maccabee building (now the site of the First National Bank) and hired high school students at a nickel apiece to test sound transmissions. They hoped to prove with the softer voices of children that sound did indeed travel through the lines and wasn't simply carried by it s volume.
