History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Ohio House

In 1876, the United States Centennial Exhibition was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Of all the exhibition buildings erected by individual states, only one remains fully intact and operational today.

The Ohio House served as a visitor center during the 1976 Bicentennial, and is now a cafe and eatery.
