    In 1942 Ohio State Route 74 ran from Cincinnati Eastward toward Batavia. Mount Gilead is North of Columbus.

    A map of Ohio from 1942 showing State Route 74 can be found here. Route 74 seems to end around Peebles, OH. Mt Gilead is on the 1942 map in its present location and does not appear to have Route 74 going through it.

    I could be wrong, but I think this picture would have to have been taken between Cincinnati and Peebles if it was taken along Route 74 in Ohio in 1942 or 1943.

    In 1962 Ohio Route 74 was rename Ohio Route 32 when Interstate 74 was built. There are several sections in Cincinnati still called "Old State Route 74"

    Nice information, some of it I did not know. I live close to and travel on Old 74 everyday. It runs through the Glen Este, Sommerville and Mt Carmel area out towards Batavia.

    My Dad never ever got use to calling St Rt 32 any thing but St Rt 74.
    I could be wrong but I think Gov. Rhodes was the one who changed it to 32 from 74 when it was redone.

    Thanks. Its amazing what google and wikipedia can come up with. This photographer has another picture from the Library of Congress's collection on flickr. It was also initially identified as being taken in Mt Gilead, but looks like it was later identified as being taken in Lincoln, Nebraska. Here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2179931106/.
    Hopefully he got the state right on this photo.

    I have a Festival of Britain coin somewhere in my drawers. It's held in a green cardboard box and has an explanation leaflet too. Unfortunately I wasn't born to see this wonderful exhibition (or others) but I bet it was a spectacle to see.
