Zanesville Statehouse photograph

This photograph documents the Ohio statehouse in Zanesville. The capital was moved from Chillicothe to Zanesville in 1810. Zanesville offered to build the large capitol building with an impressive cupola. The capital was moved back to Chillicothe in 1812, and in 1816 it was moved permanently to Columbus. The Zanesville building became the Muskingum County courthouse. It was replaced by a new courthouse in 1877. The photograph measures 6.5" x 4.5" (16.51 x 11.43 cm)
