Young people relaxing on Statehouse lawn

A group of young people stare at something in the distance while relaxing on the lawn of the Ohio Statehouse, near the intersection of North High and Broad Streets in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Behind them, pedestrians walk down the street, while other people sit on a ledge watching cars and buses drive past. The High Street Photograph Collection is comprised of over 400 photographs of High Street in Columbus, Ohio, taken in the early 1970s. These photographs were taken primarily at street level and document people and the built environment from the Pontifical College Josephinum on North High Street in Worthington through Clintonville, the University District and Short North, Downtown and South Columbus. The photographs were used in a television photo documentary that aired on WOSU called "High Street." Photographers that were involved in this project were Alfred Clarke, Carol Hibbs Kight, Darrell Muething, Clayton K. Lowe, and Julius Foris, Jr
