Post-World War II Ashtabula was a major Great Lakes port with a thriving downtown. Local photographer Richard E. Stoner began taking photographs of the growing city in 1938, and for the next 58 years, his lens captured Ashtabula�s businesses, industries, and citizens. His commercial accounts ranged from the harbor�s Pinney Dock and Transport Company, to Main Avenue�s locally-owned Carlisle-Allen Company department store, to Ashtabula�s major war industries. Dick Stoner�s earlier photographs capture the Ashtabula that once was, including the week-long Sesquicentennial Celebration of 1953. His later photos record the beginnings of fundamental change in our way of life. Also included in this volume are some pre-1930s photographs by Vinton N. Herron, whose work Stoner purchased when Herron retired. For Ashtabulans, this is a family album. For others, it is a look at a bygone time in Midwest America.
