Through the center of this photo from left center to right center, High Street travels from west southwest to east northeast, that is to say immediately behind and parallel to the Courthouse on the left, to the tall Rentschler Building and the Robinson-Schwenn Department Store (with a classical facade and peaked roof) in the center, and a portion of the Hooven-Owens-Rentschler Company’s plant on the far right.The Great Miami River and the Black St. Bridge are barely visible in the distance in a north northwesterly direction at the upper left hand corner of the photograph. Along the left side of this photograph from top to bottom, one may follow South Front Street as it goes in a south southeasterly direction and passes next to the Courthouse, Zion Lutheran Chapel, the African Methodist Episcopal Church (formerly the German Methodist Church to 1919 and Grace Methodist Church until circa 1953) at 320 South Front St., and finally First Saint John's United Church of Christ (formerly Saint John's Evangelical and Reformed Church) at 412 South Front Street. Visible going from north-northwest to south-southeast from the top center to the lower right hand corner of this photo is South Second Street as it passes the Courthouse (left) and the Rentschler Building (right). Further east (and to the right), South Third Street may be seen going in the same direction and parallel to South Second Street. When distributing this photograph in digital or printed form, please give credit to Bruce and Karen Garver and the “Garver-Morton-Lotz-Bippus-McCloskey Collection of Digital Photographs” at the Lane Public Library in Hamilton, Ohio. Bruce Garver estimates that this aerial photo was made during the early 1920s for three reasons. First, it depicts atop the Courthouse the new clocktower, dome, and cupola constructed circa 1915, after a large fire in 1912 had destroyed the original tower, dome, cupola, and statue of Justice atop the courthouse. Note the lighter and cleaner stone of these additions in comparison to the rest of stone exterior of the Courthouse. Three firemen perished while fighting this blaze. Second, the fairly small number of motor vehicles on the street indicates that the photo was probably made shortly after World War I and the post-war recession of 1920-21. Third, this photograph certainly predates the year 1926 when the replacement dome and cupola were destroyed by lightning and the ensuing fire. Because this damaged dome and cupola were never replaced, the circa 1915 clock tower remained alone atop the Butler County Courthouse whose appearance, in comparison to most other American county courthouses, gives one the impression of viewing a structure that remains uncompleted.
