Description
This is an interesting grouping of photographs and newspaper clippings concerning the oldest house in the state of Ohio. The newspaper is from the Columbus Dispatch from the 1930’s and highlights Buckeye Station and the oldest house restoration and the advocacy to having turned this house and property into an Ohio State Park. The photos show Frank Ellison of Manchester, Ohio in Adams County whose grand grandfather purchased Buckeye Station in 1810. He is shown in the newspaper clippings with an article stating his desire to have the site as mentioned, turned into a State Park.
The circa 1930’s studio portraits of Mr. Ellison measure 7 ½ x 10 and 4 ½ x 6 ½ and photographed by The Baker Art Company of Columbus, Ohio.
(For the Ohio historian this is a must addition to your collection)
This archive is part of a much larger historically important archive associated with the Collings/Kirker family of Adams Co., Ohio that I have listed in my shop. The Archive over-all consists of materials from the Kirker-Collings-Gibson family of Adams Co., Ohio, from just before statehood to the end of the 20th century. Two of the progenitors of this clan are James R. Gibson and his wife, Martha King Gibson. This archive and these items appear to have been accumulated and come through Mary King Collings, who, it appears never married.
