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.
