PREFATORY.
PICTURESQUE HURON is made up of views taken with a photograph camera, in Huron county, Ohio. The views embrace urban, suburban and rural scenes, such as streets and roads; business buildings, churches and schools : natural scenery, sach as woods, hills, vales, streams, and other landscapes; houses, mills, shops and factories-in fact. a collection of such views as will portray to the eye the out-door side of the county, as it now appears to an observer.
In selecting material for this book, we have not chosen merely the residences of modern style and elegance, or the business buildings of superior size and looks. The rich and the poor have been treated with like consideration. The humble cot, the common-place home. the country church and school-house, occupy as prominent places in this book as do the homes of the gentry or the edifices of wealth or splendor. We have endeavored to have all classes represented. We have taken pains to obtain as many as possible of such views as attract the eye of the traveler or loiterer, and those views which have surroundings such as lend a charm or admiration to a picture, and views with which there have been connectel some incident, event or reminiscence calculated to make them of more than usual interest or prominence. Our idea is to give to the people a panorama of life and its environments, just as it now exists in the county, and place its characteristic features in such convenient and permanent form that it will be valued and preserved.
Many illustrations of the older and quainter structures are found in this book. and, because old landmarks are always striking, and become more interesting and important as the years pass behind us, the mind of one turning its pages will be constantly directed to scenes and incidents of the past. But the book is not intended as historical, except in the sense that it presents to view many features of the county as they have long been in existence, and will preserve the identity of many a structure and scene that otherwise would, in time, pass from sight into the abyss of forgetfulness.
To know what the value of this work will be-historically-to coming generations, the reader may fancy how interest- ing and fascinating such a volume, published fifty or more years ago, would now be, recalling to our older people the county and its life as they knew it in childhood, and pieturing to their descendants something of the life our parents led. and the trials they underwent in the upbuilding of our now pleasant community. This will give some conception of the value this volume, with its portrayal of Huron county as it is to-day, will be to the next and subsequent generations. We would he pleased to be able to give a descriptive story of scenes and incidents revealed in many of these pictures : but it is impossible to get proper data for so many of them that. out of regard for all, only such reading matter is used as is necessary to locate the views, or merely suggest some event which has brought the scene or locality into prominence.
Although it may seem somewhat out of keeping with a work devoted to the picturesque, we have inserted in it a few portraits. They are, however, portraits of either men of historie fame, who were born, or at some time resided, in Huron county-men who have been well-known county officials, or men who were prominently connected with the early settlement or later development of some locality of the county. We are sorry that we are umable to give more of the portraits of our pioneers. Pictures of many men, whose portraits should be preserved on account of their identity with the early history of the county, cannot now be had, and their faces have passed from view entirely. Some pictures we desired were asked for, but they are left out because the interested parties did not respond to our call. There are, undoubtedly, many men living to-day in the county whose lives have been sufficiently illustrious or prominent to make them deserving a place for their por-
iv

trait on our pages. But it would be impossible to get them all, and so many portraits as would be necessary would be so far beyond the purpose of this work, that we have omitted pictures of all, or nearly all. of this class of persons.
We have no apology to offer for this work. It contains nearly double the number of pictures we promised its pur- chasers, in the prospectus, and the high character of the mechanical work displayed in the sample number has been main- tained on every page of the book. We believe the volume will have an inestimable and lasting value. As it is improbable that another work like it. for the county, will ever be published, we trust that those who obtain copies will preserve them with extreme care, as their value will increase with their age.
We have published a few copies more than the subscriptions call for, believing that some who have been absent during the canvass, and some who now live in distant places, but once resided in this county, may wish a volume. It will certainly afford those who have removed, or may in the future remove from the county. great pleasure to be enabled, when miles away, in their minds, by examining these pictures, to revisit familiar places in Old Huron : to reproduce scenes and incidents around which fond memories cluster, and to revive recollections that are certainly dear to them.

EBENEZER LANE. ESQ.
DANIEL TILDEN. M. D.
EBENEZER LANE
Was one of the pioneer lawyers of Huron county. He settled in Elyria in March, 1817, and removed to Norwalk. October 10, 1819. In May, 1819, he was appointed prosecuting attorney of Huron county, and was judge of the court of common pleas from 1822 to 1827, when he went upon the supreme bench of the state and remained a judge of our highest state court until 1845. In July, 1842, he removed to Sandusky, where he died July 12, 1866.
ELISHA WHITTLESEY
Was connected with Platt Benedict as one of the proprietors of the land upon which Norwalk is situated. Whittlesey Hall, in this city, was erected upon land donated by him for an academy, and Whittlesey Avenue is his namesake. He was instrumental in having the wide spreading, shady maples set out that now ornament Norwalk's leading street. He settled at Canfield. O., in 1806. Was state representative in 1820, served in congress sixteen years, and was sixth auditor of the treasury continuously from 1841 to the time of his death in 1862.
PLATT BENEDICT
Located in Norwalk in 1815, and brought his family here in 1817. He built the first house in the place, a log one, in 1817, and in 1819 built a brick one in its place. It was on the site occupied by the Gallup block, and was just east of the first building be- yond the court house, the Benham block, shown in the picture of Norwalk as it was in 1846. He held many offices of trust, and was for many years president of the Firelands Historical Society. He died in 1866, at the advanced age of 91 years, 7 months and 7 days.
DANIEL TILDEN
Was one of the pioneer physicians of this county. He settled at Cook's Corners in the spring of 1817, moved to Norwalk in 1825, removed to Sandusky in 1839, where he died in 1870. He was state senator from 1828 to 1835.

NORWALK AS IT WAS IN 1846.
Norwalk was laid out in 1816, and these valuable pictures show how the city appeared at the various specified dates in its history. They are views which some of its enterprising citizens were thoughtful enough to secure, and careful enough to preserve. aud we are pleased to be able to place before the present generation, and record for the use of posterity, an idea of what the streets of Norwalk locked like in the times when it was growing from: hamlet to village, and when its inhabitants were reaching up from the condition of humble villagers to that of being inhabitants of an imposing little city.
The picture above is from a sketch made in 1840, and considered reliable by those whose memory autedates that period. Back of the shade trees on the street east of the court house was the residence of Platt Benedict. The small one story building on the left is supposed to be one located on the corner now occupied by B. C. Taber & Co. There were a few business buildings on West Main which could not be shown from the position takeu by the artist, but the view taken exposes the most imposing part of the village at that time.

This picture shows some of the pioneer business structures of Norwalk, in the heart of what was then the principal commercial part of the town. They have since been replaced by the more imposing structures shown in the subsequent views. The American house was then a famous hostlery. It still stands, but additions to it, and internal changes, have changed its looks so that it is scarcely recognizable as one of the landmarks of Norwalk's growth. We regret not being able to give as early views of all parts of Main street.

PART OF EAST MAIN STREET IN IS8.
This picture shows bow the south side of East Main Street looked after several of the old wooden buildings had given way to more substantial briek ones.
WEST END OF EAST MAIN STREET IN ISZ
This pleture shows the structures wbleh at a later das were erected on the west end of the south side of East Main Street, extending as far as the court house yard. The building on the corner was known as the Benham Building. A part of this lot was subsequently taken Into the court bouse yard.
This picture shows a view of this part of Norwalk, as it now is. The contrast is quite marked It is quite likely that the ideas of the most ardent of the pioneer boomers have been outstripped, and they would feel flattered if permitted to take a peep to-day along the street where the old-time merchants then disposed of their wares.
