I lived in Zanesville in the summers in the 1960's, my mother sent me to live with her mother, my dear grandmother, I am so glad she did, I valued every day there and found the people of Zanesville so very nice and geniune. I was born and raised up north, a snotty little town south of Akron. Really very unhappy there and going to Zanesville for the summers and being with my family there really made a difference in my life...I could tell you some stories too!
Yeah, me too. But having travelled quite widely across Europe this year, I was convinced the "disproportions" beautifully but ridiculously visible for small-town Zanesville are mainly an American thing. But yesterday, looking into a Beatles, Eleanor Rigby, story I came to a key place for the band - St. Peter's Church, Woolton ... and it was built in 1 year! Finished 1887 (they had to pull the Old church down and reassemble it in Toxteth, so that both slowed abd facilitated the process, I guess). The "new" church is not huge, not even very ornate, but it still has a 90-foot tower! How do you do that in a year, in a rainy and cold city?
Yes, same here. I feel like Julie Andrews in “The Sound of Music” when she’s on the mountain singing, “The Hills are Alive”, when I see those buildings. Meanwhile, the “average Joe” just walks around unaware. 😄
My grandma lived here for 40 years and we would come down from Cleveland often to visit her. I always marveled at the buildings and canals in Zanesville. Miss you grams!!
I'm not American but I do have some knowledge of America, i.e. the United States. This is the first time I hear of Zanesville, Ohio. (Apparently there's another Zanesville in Indiana.) Such a small town, but so well built back in those glory days! Quite amazing. This place has a greater number of beautiful old buildings than many cities much bigger. Thank you for this little gem of a video. Ah, the glorious 19th century when people all over the US and the world were building like crazy and making the impossible possible. Like Lucius Aurelian says, it was impossible until it was not. Also the Great Depression was not so depressing for architects, apparently.
I live in Morgan county Ohio and I'm in between both Zanesville and Athens Ohio. Athens is a very strange city with many old buildings and legends. The old insane asylum alone is amazing to explore. (The ridges) I do some shopping in Zanesville sometimes but didn't know much about it. Cool episode 💯
Athens IS strange!! One of our sons went to O.U., and while that's a very sleek and modern University, Athens itself is just weird----it's also the HILLS. The foothills of the Appalachia mountains are full of tricksy spirits---the Old, original dwellers of a very old mountain range. Not always a good vibe either.
@@stardust949 yeah there is Mount nebo and liars corner, I have family related to people that supposedly lived there and practiced witch craft back in the day and I guess it was dark magic. All I know is there is places with extreme energy vibes. Not all bad or anything though.
Athens is a little weird but if you want to feel really creeped out, go 13 to or from Zanesville. The Wayne National Forest freaked me out in my teen years so badly, I’ve had multiple instances of my GPS redirecting me towards a dangerous back road and it was definitely the result of some kind of spirit or creature. I took 13 every weekend and knew my way around and somehow still always got lost. I’ve seen and heard many things that felt other worldly on that road. Athens feels like an oasis compared to that part of Ohio
I was in the Zanesville High School marching band in 1965. We would assemble in front of Saint Nicholas and march to the center of the city. It was downhill.The sound of "Old Man River" bouncing off the buildings that lined the street. This band could crank it. My dad said a visitor asked him if it was the United States Marine Band!
I do appreciate channels like yours and bc I watch a couple of Paranormal channels I get to hear when they read the Historical Narrative and it pains me. - Such as - they built this tunnel in 1890. 😮 Hopefully this information will spread. There is so much to uncover.
The Lash High School became, Hancock Junior High when the Zanesville High School was built. You have that school listed in your 'new' school buildings. Sir, that is incorrect. That school is also been leveled for a newer ZHS. You also missed one more theater, The Cinema. It was across the street from The Liberty. Pioneer School, located on the hill across from St. Nicholas Church, my thirty something offspring attended in the 90's. It's now an apartment complex. Thank you for choosing my home town. I am third generation German immigrant.
Wow, the umbrella coping over 2nd story windows of the catholic church are very unique. I don't recall seeing that style yet. And now I want that style😊
I'm not sure if it's the same year, 1913---but Dayton, OH also suffered a devastating flood! Did all of central and southern Ohio get drowned in a catastrophic deluge? I know that in the Dayton area there are 5 rivers---and the engineers got busy and built a series of significant dams to prevent such a thing happening again. Cool video about Zanesville---I'm mostly interested in their pottery, lol!
1 thing that might interest you is the Auckland museum,empty land in 1840 but in 1854 we have a massive castle like sized structure, probably built-in 1 year but where did they get copper,zinc ,steel iron glasswork?,many things must have been shipped there from Sydney perhaps but England would have to ship out half of it,that's back then sail, probably 4 or 5 months at the fastest
The school you showed saying you don’t know why someone wouldn’t take care of it was called James Garfield. Went there in mid eighties. Thanks for the memory.
Found a "dome building duo" you'd enjoy covering. The fantastical "Guastavino Masonry Shells" father son duo, no maths required, as they didn't actually go to school. Knocked out over 1,000 domes and floating staircases across America lickity split though. And they still have the best structural engineers of the planet "stumped" 😂 There's a good summary article with which to start on structure magazine site.
I checked out the magazine because of my architectural interest in "the overall look of houses, buildings, and other structures" like Garfield Elementary School, the McIntire Library and homes in the historic district with those cathedral ceilings and archways. I was given a tour inside St. Nicholas church some years ago with those balconies. Many thanks.
12:30 😂😅"High School was very important back then"...i love your calm, dry delivery of this hilarious comment. To those of us not yet in the know about our true historical reality that you regularly continue to masterfully shed light on, yout high school comment is innocuous. But, to our community, it is extremely significant, poignant, and pregnant with deep absurd meaning. As time goes on, im less and less hopeful that we will successfully collectively unveil everything about our true past. Whatever the full details about it all are, the obvious and sheer herculean efforts that have gone into obscuring it from us all is so impressive, so wide-reaching that the truth about humanitys who/what/where/why/when is so incredibly weighty and paradigm shifting,
There’s some incredibly good looking buildings in this video, very funny you doing comparisons of what we have today. Wry few people think like this, but it’s starting to catch on and grow How could 25,000 people of 1/3 are women and 1/3 are kids so 8000 men built all of this in 20 years Meanwhile when you actually go to these structures, the building is so fortified and thick in constructed feeling it creates the possibility that this building was made to last 500 years and could withstand a apocalypse!
Alot less bureaucracy could be seen as a huge difference in the timescale of buildings built today, and buildings built back then. Despite the lack of bullshit , the buildings weren't deathtraps as bureaucrats would like us all to believe buildings would be without their permission slips and rules.
I lived in Crawford and Richland counties and have actually been in the underground tunnels of Crawford County. There is actually more history underground than above ground. Some led to prominent houses that are on Historic Landmark List.
You have said you are going to change it up a bit and do maybe just do certain buildings....I feel I am beating the same drum, but the main temple in downtown Salt Lake City needs a closer look. In 2019 they started earthquake reno and it's absolutely destroyed!!!all the antiquities are gone!
I will be doing individual buildings. The Salt lake Temple has been covered by other researchers but I can have a look at it. I do know it has been under constant 'renovation'.
There needs to be more attention given to the pottery industry in the late 1800's and into the 1900's which really fueled the economy in Zanesville and had some wealthy familes living on Brighten BLVD and Norman back in the day.
It was a shell of itself. It took a few months to find a crew qualified and insured enough to level it. The beautiful marble staircase was still intact.
Yes that is correct and lost to Columbus only because of the location of that city, Zanesville was heavily in the running due to all the railroads crossing in Zanesville and a powerful group of men running the city at the time, also, the courthouse was constructed with the mindset that Zanesville may become the capital of Ohio. I am sorry it lost out to Columbus as in reviewing their highschool yearbooks in the 50's and 60's Zanesville was far more ahead than a major amount of cities in Ohio, very progressive, a great city.
@ 3:00 in they say the flood in that city costed a 100 mill. And then they said 65k temporarily were forced to leave their land but around that time only 28-29k resided there? Or were they talking about the whole storm path or just that city? Cause that math is off.
@@amalgamating ...you're participating in it right now. The old world didn't have the distractions of today. Smartphones and evil people with a lust for power ensures stupid populations. Sheep are easier to shear than wolves.
Even in smaller cities or towns there are magnificent buildings. I am stunned.
It was everywhere. Not to mention the amount of places that are covered by dirt, vegetation, or water

That is great when you put some photos of todays buildings just to compare with the old world buildings, everything becomes so obvious :)))
Interesting fact: that SS Kresge store you showed early on is what eventually became Kmart for those old enough to remember those
I remember when shopping there back in the early 60's
Absolutely amazing what your are discovering in these small cities.
Just last week I was thinking I should look up Zanesville. Thank you!
Very impressive! This took lots of time and effort, thanks for an excellent video!

In lagrange kentucky, they have an old bank with 1902. Then the city has two churches with the top of the towers rebuilt with wood, not brick.

Of course the masonic fire was on 3/6/6😒 A hunch, it started at 3 o clock. Oops, didn't have my glasses on, that's a Jan not Mar😊
Zanesville fire was jan 6. Also, started 'accidentally' from a "microwaved wet rag."
Imagine all the gold backed treasury notes transferred to the army and local government after these events back then...
