Moxham Pool

Drownings in the Stonycreek River prompted Lorain Steel Company (U.S. Steel) to build this pool adjacent to its Moxham plant in 1920. The pool was a popular place until it suffered extensive damage during the 1936 Flood. It was sold to an oil company for industrial use.

Yoder Falls - June 21, 1914


This is pretty cool! It isn't too often that you can date an old picture exactly to the day. You can thank my grandfathers two sisters - who are in this picture taken June 21, 1914 - at Yoder Falls. I believe these are members of a church group from St. Paul's on Virginia Avenue.
