Man in wheelchair along North High Street

An elderly man moves his wheelchair south along North High Street, in the Short North neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. Cars pass behind him along the road, and businesses including Hoffman's Department Store, State Savings and Michael's Goody Boy Drive-In are seen across the street. 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
