Leonard, whose period of service on this Commission extended from the date of his appointment August 20, 1913, until his resignation during the last days of his illness July 16, 1918, has proven conclu- isvely that his appointment as Chairman of the Ohio Penitentiary Commission was most fortunate. He brought to the service of the State in this matter a trained mind with a broad and charitable vision. His interest in those in prison grew out of his faith and confidence in his fellow men, and his desire to help those who had gone astray was the constant and continuous purpose of his mature years. His trust in men was so marked and genuine that few prisoners placed on their honor by him ever betrayed his confidence. Supplementing these fundamental qualities of mind and heart he brought to the Commission a rich practical experience growing out of his work as Superintendent of the State Reformatory at Mansfield, a position which he occupied for a period of seventeen years. In addition to these elements of character and knowledge his genial, gentle ways, his hopeful attitude towards life and his keen sense of humor made sessions of the Gommission a delightful com- panionship as well as a means of service. For his wisdom and judgment, for his kindness of heart, for his unfailing courtesy and for his genial companionship the members of the Ohio Penitentiary Commission desire to express their sincere appreciation. Five APPROVAL AND CERTIFICATION ECTION 12 of the Act creating the Ohio Penitentiary Com- mission (O. L. 108 P. 249) reads as follows: “Before any ground plan or plans for the erection of the new penitentiary, the building or group of buildings constituting parts or units of the same, are finally approved and adopted by the Commission, such plans are to be exhibited in the State House for not less than fifteen (15) days, and any criticism of the same shall be considered by such Commission in determining whether such plans shall be finally adopted.” The following description and the drawings accompanying the same constitute what the Commission hereby approves as fixing the permanent design for the new Ohio Penitentiary, it being understood that these drawings and descriptions are preliminary, and that the same are to be followed by complete working drawings and specifi- cations prior to the actual construction of improvements herein shown and described, and in approving these preliminary drawings it is hereby certified that the conditions of the statute above quoted have been complied with. Architects. Seven BIRDSEYE VIEW INTRODUCTION ULL information regarding the preliminary investigation KF leading up to the passage of the law creating the Ohio Peni- tentiary Commission can be obtained by reference to the report on Prison Reform made by the special commission consisting of Dr. J. A. Leonard, Rutherford H. Platt, Dr. A. F. Shepherd and Dr. Harris R. Cooley appointed by Governor James M. Cox; said report bearing date of February 17, 1913, published in the Ohio Bulletin of Charities and Corrections, and reprinted from this bulletin by the Ohio Board of State Charities, April, 1918, Columbus, Ohio. A copy of this bulletin can be seen in the office of the Ohio Board of State Charities, Columbus. Pursuant to the recommendations made in the above report, an act creating the Ohio Penitentiary Commission was passed by the General Assembly in 1918, and on August 20th of that year Gov- ernor Cox appointed the Penitentiary Commission. Thereupon the Commission, in accordance with its duties pre- scribed by law, began its work of considering the proposed sites for such an institution, and after an extensive investigation determined upon the purchase as the best site offered of the property herein after described. Since the purchase of the site known as the Penitentiary Farm, the Commission has devoted its efforts to the study of the require- ments of the proposed institution, and as soon as funds were available therefor, the Commission employed architects and engineers to develop studies and preliminary drawings and make definite recom- mendations as to the best method of improvement and development of said farm for penitentiary purposes. The drawings and descriptions here submitted are the summing up of a long and careful investigation by the Penitentiary Commis- sion and the architects looking well into the future as to the possible requirements of this institution with a full realization on the part of the Commission that the scheme as here approved cannot be changed or deviated from in the carrying on of the work under the present Statute of the State of Ohio, unless the approval of the Penitentiary Commission is first secured for any such changes as might be proposed. Nine It is realized by the Commission that an institution of this mag- nitude will require a period of several years for its complete con- struction and in this time many changes may occur in the personnel of the Penitentiary Commission, the Board of Administration, the architects and engineers intrusted with the work. For that reason the drawings and descriptions herewith submitted and approved set forth as accurately as is possible all of the contemplated improve- ments to the ultimate completion of the work to the end that the original thought in the minds of those who had given most time and study to the problems involved become a matter of permanent record. It is the purpose and intent of the Penitentiary Commission to proceed with the preparation of working drawings and specifications for the various units of improvement as rapidly as is possible and practicable in order to enable the Board of Administration to take up its work of construction at the earliest possible date. The drawings and descriptions herewith submitted are in accord- ance with the requirements of the contract between the Ohio Peni- tentiary Commission and the architects as follows, viz: “All of the drawings to be furnished for the improvements are to be sufficiently clear and accompanied by such legends and descriptions as will make of them an understandable and permanent record of the proposed units of improvements,” * * * “and all such documents taken together form such complete and permanent record of the proposed Ohio Penitentiary, its appointments and style and character of con- struction as will enable any competent architect or architects and engineer or engineers to take the work up from and at a point indi- cated and illustrated by the documents hereinbefore referred to and to prepare therefrom complete working drawings, details and speci- fications for any and all of the units of the proposed improvements in complete harmony with the entire scheme as originally contem- plated and approved.” It is realized that during the construction of this institution questions may frequently arise as to the line of reasoning that led to the conclusions herein set forth; therefore, at various points in this description it has been the intent to call attention to the problems under consideration, and methods of management and operation have been suggested in order to make clear to successors in the work the reason for the plan and arrangement herein recommended.

Thirteen THE LOCATION HE land purchased by the Ohio Penitentiary Commission, known as the Prison Farm is situated one and one-half miles north-west of London in Madison County, Ohio, twenty-seven miles nearly due west of Columbus. It lies between the London and Somerford, and the London and Springfield Pikes, both main travel- ed highways of this section of the State. The London and Somer- ford Road connects with the National Pike at the Village of Somer- ford. The location of the site with relation to Columbus and London and to the main traveled roads, railroads and interurban line is shown by the plat herewith submitted and marked Location Map of Peni- tentiary Farm (No. 1). Fourteen PROPOSED PURCHASES HE present area of the Penitentiary Farm is 1,448.5 acres in one unit and the situation and surruondings are such that ex- tension is feasible in any direction without encountering land more valuable than well improved farm property. In the considera- tion that has been given to this site it has been found that it would be greatly to the advantage of the project to purchase certain additional and abutting properties; these recommended purchases being in- dicated on Plat No. 2 accompanying this description and being letter- ed in the order in which their purchase is recommended. The reasons for the purchase of additional property and extend- ing the farm area are three-fold and have been considered from the following standpoints. First; the question of real estate containing extensive deposits of sand and gravel that will be of great value to the construction and the improvement work, and real estate necessary for right of way for railroad track connections. Second; the purchase of such tracts of land as secure absolute and complete control of the waterway known as Oak Run. Third; the question of such farm areas as will round out and complete the State’s holdings in such a manner as to make the farm work of the greatest possible good to the prisoner and the public, and give to the State sufficient land holdings immediately surrounding the buildings as to make the farm industry which will be one of the main industries, worthy of so great an institution. It will be noted that the recommended purchases amount to one thousand and eighty-eight acres which will bring the total holdings of the State, when all this property is acquired, up to twenty-five hun- dred and thirty-six acres, and it must be admitted that this is none too large a farm holding for an institution of this magnitude, and it must also be admitted that in institutions heretofore constructed by the State of Ohio the fault has been that not enough land has ever been acquired at the start, and on account of this frequently the State has been compelled to purchase land located at a distance and operated at a disadvantage. The idea is to avoid such a contingency in this case. Fifteen ORDER OF PURCHASE HE tracts marked “Recommended Purchase A” at present owned by Ellsworth, two hundred five acres, and Cook, one hundred sixty acres, are recommended on account of securing gravel and sand deposits for the construction of the improvements. A gravel pit of small extent and small deposit was found years ago within the area at present owned by the State near the southwest corner, but investigation shows that this has been pretty thoroughly worked out, and the gravel and sand deposit still remaining would not be sufficient for the requirements. It must be borne in mind that in building and road improve- ments that will be necessary, not less than five hundred thousand cubic yards of sand and gravel will be required, and to secure this material within a reasonable and convenient distance of the proposed improvement will result in a saving in transportation alone of several hundred thousand dollars. Therefore the purchase of so much of the two tracts above mentioned is recommended as will undoubtedly secure an ample supply of the material required. The statement is made that the Ellsworth property contains large deposits of sand and gravel, but sufficient investigation has not been made of this property to ascertain positively the extent of said deposits, but an investigation of the Cook property has been made which shows that it undoubtedly contains a sufficient amount of the material required, and a proper and careful investigation of both tracts should be made before the purchase of either to clearly demon- strate whether only one or both of the above mentioned tracts should be acquired. A section of the eastern portion (50 acres) of the Horace G. Jones farm is marked ‘Proposed Purchase A’ and is necessary on account of securing the right of way for the railroad. It is recom- mended that at least the eastern end of this farm be acquired rather than to purchase a right of way through the farm, as it will be much cheaper to construct the railroad track straight across this farm than to put in the necessary curves and extra trackage to extend around it, and the land is about the best in that locality for farm purposes, Sizteen and probably the saving in the cost of the track and transportation will nearly offset the cost of the land recommended to be purchased. Tracts marked ‘Proposed Purchases B’; the Minerva Harden farm of thirty acres, and the J. M. Roberts property, sixteen and sixteen-hundredths acres, are recommended especially to control water rights; and the Warner Harrison farm, three hundred and three acres, also marked ‘Proposed Purchase B’ is recommended on account of its control of water rights and on account of the further fact that it is excellent farm land, conveniently located. ‘Proposed Purchases C:’ EP OrACG, Gri) OUCS Ste cae ree ee 210 ~— acres eb ODN Saati: eee ee 18.91 acres sa Grol EL Orn DeG kas. ca a. cai es 30 ~— acres George Wbangen ine 86.41 acres ebaInese LOONEY panlot at Adland) 103 ~— acres Davidy trowbridge <2... 37> + acres are recommended on account of their value as farm lands and their situation being such as to fully round out and complete the holdings of the State in proper size and form. Seventeen BUILDING SITE CONSIDERATION AREFUL examination of the entire area at present owned by the State has been made on the ground, and topographical surveys have been made of all that portion affected by the pro- posed building areas. In fixing the building areas careful con- sideration has been given to the following points: First; convenient methods of access by railroad, interurban line and wagon roads. Second; a proper elevation to afford the best natural drainage by means of the streams flowing through the property, and to afford proper grade for sanitary drainage to the sewer connection and to the sewage disposal plant in the village of London which will be used in connection with this institution. Third; a site that would give proper orientation to the buildings to afford the best natural light and ventilation. Fourth; a situation for buildings that would afford the best and most commanding and impressive view of the institution as a whole from the main lines of approach thereto. Fifth; such a location as would bring the buildings in most con- venient touch with the entire present farm area and retain this same relation to proposed future purchases, this being of great practical benefit in the operation of the work of the institution as a unit. Eighteen SURVEY DATA See Drawings No. 3-5-6-7. HE present property holding of the State has been surveyed 4p for boundary and general topography, and a topographical map has been made thoroughly covering that section of the farm where building sites are proposed, to furnish the necessary in- formation upon which to base reports and plans for improvement. Three major circuits of triangulation have been established, the major points having been marked with concrete monuments from which identification of any location upon the premises is made easy and certain. These points are located on the plat in such manner as will make their relocation on the ground easy in case the monuments are destroyed at any time. The contour maps show present grades. Finished grades are fixed and shown by elevations marked on the plats. In fixing these elevations due consideration has been given to the question of drainage, and careful consideration in fixing loca- tions has been given to proper means of access to building sites and from building sites to all portions of the property. Nineteen RAILROAD CONNECTIONS HE present south boundary of the property abuts on the C. C. C. & St. L. Ry., one of the major transportation systems of the State. The northeastern boundary of the property fronts on the Ohio Electric Railroad, thus giving connection with all parts of the interurban system of the State. Provision has been made in the development plan for the linking together of these two systems within the property as indicated on the plat, thus giving the best of transportation for passenger and freight in all directions, both by electric and steam railway. There will be required approximately eleven thousand feet of railroad and interurban track to extend through from the Big Four on the south to the interurban railway in the Somerford Pike, and leading off from this into the Penal Group enclosure, between the factory buildings and the power house, will be required approximately three thousand six hundred feet of side track. It is expected to electrically equip this railway and use it solely for the purposes of the institution. Twenty SYSTEM OF ROADS See Drawing No. 4 ITH the site that has been chosen for the dominating build- ing groups, the natural main approach to the business offices of the institution will be from the Somerford Pike by way of a winding drive so outlined as to best adjust itself to the natural topography and to take the greatest possible advantage of the at- tractive features of this portion of the farm. The service roadway will enter from the Springfield Pike, and the purpose of this entrance being purely utilitarian, it will be con- structed along the most direct and shortest route to reach and extend through the Agricultural Group to and within the walled enclosure in the factory section. These two main approaches are linked together by a roadway entirely surrounding the walled enclosure with such minor branches leading off therefrom as will connect in the most direct manner with those parts of the farm area which it is thought necessary to connect with the building group by means of improved thoroughfares. As the major portion of the property is to be developed pri- marily for agricultural purposes it is felt that the road system should be as simple as will practically serve this purpose, as it would not seem desirable from a business standpoint to burden the institution with a heavy capital investment in roads with its attendant perpetual cost of maintenance. Therefore, only a few main roadways leading directly from building groups to all portions of the farm have been laid out on the plat. It is felt that such hauling as is necessary in the fields abutting on these roads, can be so controlled as to be carried on at such times of the year that dirt roads or ordinary cheap road construction can be laid out and used to meet the requirements; and as the farm purposes and development may change from year to year it may be necessary to shift and change unimportant roadways, and the construction therefore, should be of such character that where roadways are shifted the expense involved will be a minimum. With the one exception of the approach to the front of the institution from the Somerford Pike practical use of the roadways has been the con- trolling thought in laying out the same. The shortest distance be- tween the points obtains in all cases. Twenty-one In regard to the approach from the Somerford Pike this road- way is one of the important landscape features. It will wind around among the trees and will skirt the lake to be located in Oak Run, thus providing attractive vistas of the lake and the best possible view of the dominating group of buildings in approaching the same. Twenty-two ROAD CONSTRUCTION HE soil being of a black loam with a clay subsoil is naturally of a poor character for road foundations and rather difficult to drain. Therefore, all roadways will be well under-drained independent of the underdrainage provided for farm land in order to keep these roads dry and prevent breaking up and settling of the foundations, and where sloping surfaces require it, special surface drainage must be provided. The main drive from the Somerford road to the front of the institution, the main service drive from the Springfield Pike through the Agricultural Group to the service end of the Penal Group, the main connecting drive linking these two roadways together outside of the wall of the Penal Group, and all drives indicated within the walled enclosure will have the surface finished with hard paving brick laid on concrete foundation. All subordinate drives leading off from the roadways above noted will be water-bound macadam properly underdrained. Twenty-three GENERAL TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE See Drawing No. 3 HE major portion of the farm is sufficiently undulating to afford good drainage grades, an excellent drainage system being furnished by Oak Run and its tributaries. The extreme western portion of the property is rolling and well wooded. The central section of the property touching the London and Somerford Road is a beautiful open woodland and comes in the foreground of the main building group. The extreme variation in elevation of the property is approximately eighty feet between the high ground in the western section and the outflow of Oak Run at the eastern line. The surface of the ground adjacent to Oak Run slopes toward it rather abruptly at some points but at close proximity to the stream the ground flattens out and is of a somewhat swampy nature. With the exception of two swampy areas northwest of the building site of only a few acres in extent the high ground has good natural drainage. The subsoil is a heavy clay and retains water to a considerable degree and should therefore, be well underdrained as indicated by the drainage plat. Practically the entire farm requires underdrain- ing to best fit it for agricultural work. Such areas as are being culti- vated have been largely underdrained. The additional lines needed are shown on the plat. This drain tile should be laid at a depth of thirty to thirty-six inches and the trenches in which it is laid should be back-filled to a depth of eighteen inches with gravel. Provision is made for under-draining the open area within the walled enclosures in the same manner. Although, as above stated, Oak Run and its tributaries have a good flow of clear water at all times of the year, and furnish good natural surface drainage through the property, at the present time the flow of the stream is greatly retarded by the irregularities in its bed and the growth of vegetation. This is especially true in the section on the western end of the farm. Oak Run should be thoroughly cleaned for its entire length and the banks straightened at some points. This will materially improve the swampy conditions along its edges. West of Oak Run is a small stream which has a clear flow until within a few hundred feet of Oak Run where it is obstructed by a swamp. A Twenty-four channel should be cut through and this swampy area properly under- drained, as indicated, to put the land in proper condition either for pasture or farm land and maintain the water ways within proper bounds. The ditch or stream coming into Oak Run from the south should have its channel straightened and cleaned, especially in view of the fact that it will receive a considerable amount of storm water from within the walled enclosure. Twenty-five LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT See Drawing No. 4A HE farm area is particularly fortunate, not only containing co an attractive building area near the center furnishing a suitable setting for the dominating group, but the contours and water- ways are such as readily lend themselves to beautification of the land- scape without excessive cost. The entrance to the front of the build- ing site winding through the open woodland before mentioned, should be flanked by additional planting in proper locations and this open woodland should be developed as a purely natural park with no attempt at artificiality. It is with the distinct purpose of enhancing the appreciation of this natural park that a direct roadway is aban- doned and the winding roadway is suggested. Proper grading and planting, together with the introduction into the foreground of the building site of the lake proposed by slightly damming the waters of Oak Run furnishes perfectly obvious reasons for the line of ap- proach suggested. Drives leading out from the main approach to the front reach the locations provided for the residences of the prison officials. These residences are thus removed completely from any atmosphere of institution life, and they are given an attractive setting within a convenient distance of the places of business of the residents and within easy reach of the interurban line. A very great addition to the landscape feature treatment will be the construction of the lake fed from Oak Run. The natural lay of the ground makes this entirely feasible, and a weir test of the dry weather flow of Oak Run shows that the capacity of the stream is ample to provide for the area suggested in the sketch. The water level will be at an elevation of approximately ten hundred and sixty- two (1062) in order to prevent flooding of the farm to the west. The material excavated from the lake will be used to construct the dam at the lower end and to change the natural contour of the surface in some places, it being proposed to construct this dam with such broad and gentle slopes as to create the impression that it is entirely natural in its formation, to give to the valley in which this lake is contained the appearance of having been naturally narrowed at this point. The outline of the lake is thereby made irregular and in- Twenty-sia teresting. The depth of the water should be from six to eight feet in order to obviate the growth of vegetation. Special provision should be made at certain points for the cultivation of water plants for beautification purposes. It should be borne in mind that a beautiful landscape setting for this institution is suggested not only on account of its general pleas- ing effect upon the observer, but on account of the fact that land- scape work, forestry, horticulture and the proper care of such well developed areas should be taught the prisoners as one of the useful industries of this institution, and the practical everyday training in the work necessary to care for a properly developed park here will be greatly beneficial; and further, the development of the foreground of the buildings into a park being so extensive in its area will not in any measure preclude its use as pasture land, and it will, therefore, serve a doubly practical purpose in this location. Twenty-seven THE BUILDING AND IMPROVEMENT PROBLEM buildings a thorough investigation was made of other similar institutions throughout this country and a careful survey was made of the present Ohio Penitentiary, its various departments and requirements for expansion. Many consultations have been held with various penitentiary managers and officials and the plan here recom- mended is based upon a careful culling and consideration of the in- formation thus obtained. The present Ohio Penitentiary has been in use for a period of over one hundred years and although at the time of its planning and construction it was undoubtedly thought to be a model institution of its kind and to contain ample provision for growth, improvement and development it has long since been found entirely inadequate and is at present unsuited in space, arrangement and equipment to the carrying on of such a work as is properly the function of such an in- stitution. In recent years the attitude of the State toward those who either through heredity, environment, misfortune, deliberate intent or by accident become violators of the law and thereby lose, for a time, their liberty and citizenship, has materially changed and these law violators are now considered as subjects for a curative, disciplinary, and necessarily a detention institution so planned and constructed as to emphasize the curative and educational idea. Therefore, the in- tent of the plan here recommended is such as to be clearly indicative of this purpose. It is proposed to make such provisions as will safely detain, properly house and suitably train the prisoner under the best and most humane methods known and this institution is so planned and arranged in its improvements as to emphasize by the very nature of the plan itself the idea of order, discipline, cleanliness and decent living. Provision is to be made for a maximum capacity of three thou- sand, but such flexibility in plan has been provided as will permit of the institution here recommended being just as complete and perfect in its operation when the housing capacity construction reaches fifteen hundred as it will be when it reaches the housing capacity construc- tion fixed as the maximum therefor. The question of safe detention has been solved by planning such I order to determine the number and character of the required Twenty-eight an orderly and well protected group of housing buildings and indoor industries as will immediately impress the prisoner with its security and eliminate from his mind all thought of attempt to escape, or to communicate with the outside except through regulated channels. This has made necessary the enclosing of the principal section of the Penal Group with a suitable wall and the proper protection of all outside openings with suitable bars. Not only does safe detention mean the prevention of the occasional escape of a prisoner (which in itself would not be seriously detrimental to the institution) but in the eyes of the law safe detention should and does mean that which is Just as important, the prevention of the contact of the public with the prisoner so confined, as good discipline and suitable training can not obtain in an institution that permits a man so being detained and trained to be constantly inoculated with the virus of the disease that placed him there. For that reason proper walls and bars are as beneficial to the prisoner as any other disciplinary safeguard thrown around him. In considering the question of proper housing practically all penologists, wardens and managers of penitentiaries agree that the widest possible segregation and classification should be provided that is consistent with reasonable and economical management and a reasonable cost of construction. In the plan of this institution pro- vision has been made for the widest possible classification of the prisoners in buildings and quarters as light, cheerful and sanitary as the magnitude of such an institution will permit. Careful attention has been given to the proper orientation of the living quarters, the spacing and relation of the same to each other and to certain fixed centers where the prisoners must of necessity assemble at stated periods every day. Arrangement for suitable training has been provided by the elimination of all idleness, as productive work is the best possible cure for the criminal tendency. Ample provision has been made for all kinds and classes of community work and no suggestion of an idle- house is contained in the plan. Rooms for library, school work, and manual training instruction, factories of the most up-to-date type and buildings and equipment required for the conduct of a model community farm in all departments are provided to the fullest extent. In addition to the school and manual training work, provision is made in the building improvement for the carrying on of such in- Twenty-nine dustries as can be conducted with profit to the State and benefit to the prisoners. In Ohio the present “State use” laws tend to some- what reduce the profit that might otherwise be derived from penal labor, but notwithstanding the restriction above mentioned there is no reason why such industries cannot be introduced into and carried on in this institution as will result in a great saving to the State even though the market for its products is restricted to State use. There- fore in the plan consideration has been given to and provision made for the following industries: Agriculture. Intensive gardening. Horticulture. Forestry. Stock raising. Poultry raising. Dairying. Meat packing. Elevators and Milling. Canning of fruits and vegetables. Iron work, such as is provided by blacksmith and machine shops. Cement post manufacturing. Soap manufacturing. Agricultural implements. Binder twine. Fertilizer. Wood working of all kinds. Sheet metal factory. Sign factory. Printing and book binding. Cotton mill. Knitting mill. Woolen mill. Clothing factory. Shoe factory. And in addition to the above list it is expected that prison labor will be used in the preparation of materials, such as sand, gravel, brick, lime and cement, stone and lumber, for the construction of the buildings and in the carrying on of all of the various departments necessary to the daily maintenance and operation of the entire plant. Thirty A study of the development problem from the stand-points above outlined divides this improvement primarily into three groups or classes of buildings. First; the Penal Group consisting of The administration building, The housing buildings for the prisoners, Large chapel and assembly hall, Small chapel, Mess hall, Kitchen, Utility building, Hospital, Conservatory, Power plant, General maintenance building or store house, General factories for indoor work; all within or cosnected with the walled enclosure. Second; the Agricultural or Farm Group of buildings for out- side activities, consisting of Dairy barns and dairy, Veterinary hospital. Garage for automobiles and trucks and tractors, Horse barns, Repair shop for agricultural implements, Canning factory, Slaughter house, Grain elevator and milling building, Railway station for shipping and receiving, Houses and runways for poultry and swine, Dormitory for men in charge of agricultural group. Third; places of residence for officials in charge of or employed in connection with the work, such as The Warden, Deputy Warden, Chaplain, Engineer, and such other employees as it may be thought proper to house in connection with or contiguous to the institution. Thirty-one The work in connection with the first two mentioned groups of buildings is closely allied and their relation to the entire area of the farm is such that the best result is served by locating these two groups as closely together as possible on an intersecting highway to be con- structed leading from the Somerford Road through to the Spring- field Pike, and on the connecting railroad track extending through from the interurban in the Somerford Road to the Big Four Rail- road that extends along the south line of the farm. Fortunately the consideration of the entire farm area discloses the fact that the location best suited for this group of buildings from every stand- point is situated almost exactly in the center of the present farm area and in the center of that which will be the maximum farm area when the recommended purchases are acquired. The third or residential group should be well separated from the first two, and not being of importance architecturally to the gen- eral grouping, these buildings have been located along the main ap- proach to the penal institution and in the beautiful open woodland situated between the Somerford Road and the main front of the penal group. Thirty-two PENAL OR DETENTION GROUP See drawings sheets No, 11 and No. 12 HIS is the dominant building feature of the institution and the site chosen gives to it the commanding dignity and perspective to which it is entitled; situated on the plateau to the south of and between Oak Run and the principal tributary of this stream that comes in from the south, on an axis extending practically due north and south, the correct orientation, proper elevation for drainage and the best architectural effect are assured. Ample sunlight is secured in all of the buildings even during the shortest days of the year, as care- ful attention has been given to the spacing of the various wings with relation to the angle of the sun’s rays. Proper circulation of air and perfect natural ventilation is provided throughout this group of buildings due to the spacing and orientation above noted. The natural drainage of the site is excellent as the ground falls away from this plateau on three sides, and Oak Run averages twenty- two feet lower than the mean height of the finished grade of the build- ing site. The accessibility of the main groups of buildings, both from without the property and from the various units of the farm area, is excellent as is shown by the railroads, switches and proposed roads, on the accompanying Plat for Arrangement of Property. Such an extensive group of buildings as is necessarily comprised in groups one and two of this institution must be seen at an unusual distance to impress the observer with its greatest dignity and ef- fectiveness. The position of these general groups as placed in the plan, approximately thirty-two hundred feet from the main entrance on the Somerford Road and approximately twenty-eight hundred feet from the main service entrance on the Springfield Road to the south, provides such a perspective, and the grouping of the buildings on the comparatively high ground in the central section of the farm will be superbly effective as seen from any point on the adjacent highways and railways. The Penal Group of buildings again subdivides into three sec- tions: (a) The administration building, housing buildings for the Thirty-three prisoners, large chapel and assembly hall, mess hall and kitchen, and quartermaster’s building, forming the main front group attached to the walled enclosure but not surrounded by the wall; all of these buildings being connected by a single corridor extending through the center from east to west, thus bringing in close and convenient touch with each other and entirely under roof those departments between which there is most frequent communication, and to and from which it is absolutely necessary that every inmate able to travel must go and come at certain stated intervals every day in the year regardless of weather conditions. (b) The hospital building for the treatment of the sick and infirm inmates and near this the conservatory for horticultural work and the propagation of plants; both located within the walled en- closure. (c) The power plant and manufacturing section, located at the south side and within the walled enclosure and separated from the central parade and recreation ground and the front part of the in- stitution by means of a high open iron fence; the intent being to further safeguard the prisoners by so dividing the manufacturing section from the living section within the enclosure as to make it un- necessary for any prisoner to go into the manufacturing section be- tween closing hours in the evening and opening hours in the morning except where detailed for special duty. The grouping of the buildings within the enclosure as above described has made possible such a conservation of space as to secure a large open parade and recreation ground; a very essential depart- ment and one seriously lacking in most penal institutions. In considering the problem it was realized that it would probably require a number of years to complete the actual construction; that it was of the greatest importance to plan and arrange the buildings in such units as would give a complete working institution with a capacity not exceeding half the maximum limit proposed. 'There- fore a unit system was devised that provides for a duplication of cell houses or housing buildings for the prisoners, grouped and connected in such a manner as to make of this a complete operating penitentiary with a capacity as low as fifteen hundred and to increase this by units of two hundred fifty at a time until the ultimate capacity of three Thirty-four thousand is reached; and at any point between the minimum and the maximum the institution will not only be complete in all of its work- ing parts, but it will have a finished appearance, and the architectural effect will be equally good at any of the stages in the progress of the work. A reference to General Building Plan No. 11 shows the entire building scheme for groups one and two. An analysis of group one, which is the more important, will illustrate clearly the unit idea in mind in developing the plan. In the housing section it will be noticed that the administration building, the large chapel and assembly hall, the mess hall and kitchen, the general utility building, and the small chapel form the central group, and on each side of this central group and connected therewith in the most direct manner by an enclosed corridor are the cell houses and dormitories. It is readily seen that the institution would be as complete in all of its operating equipment and its archi- tectural treatment if the central administration group were finished and any number of cell houses from one to the maximum complement shown were constructed on each side of it and connected in the man- ner indicated. The cell blocks, being a type of buildings providing for that class of housing which is admittedly the safest and best in prisons, and therefore containing that class of prisoners requiring the closest supervision from the center of management of the work, have been placed nearest the administration offices; while the dormitories, being a class of housing of admittedly doubtful merit in prisons, and naturally caring for that class of prisoners that would be given the greatest amount of liberty permitted by the discipline of the institu- tion, have been located at the extreme ends of the corridor. The connecting of all cell blocks by the use of one direct corridor as here planned makes possible proper guarding of the prisoners and proper maintenance of discipline in the housing buildings with a minimum number of officers, due to the fact that full observation of each of these buildings is made possible from this central connecting passageway. In the event that dormitories are constructed their supervision at night must be constant and a general guard such as could be Thirty-five maintained from an inspection corridor occasionally would not be satisfactory. Therefore their distance from the center of the group does not in any manner affect the economical and proper manage- ment of the work carried on therein. Flexibility of plan for the entire institution permitting of the construction of units increasing the capacity from time to time as might be desired has not only been provided as above described, but flexibility in the construction of some of the units themselves might be necessary and has therefore been taken care of; those buildings that it is possible to construct in units being as follows: First; the mess hall can be constructed in units by erecting the central section and adding thereto on either one or both sides spaces equivalent to one or more of the bays indicated by the location of the trusses supporting the main roof. Second; the hospital is in itself a building composed of an administration unit and three wings each of which will form a unit of construction as the demands for capacity increase. Third; the conservatory can be handled in the same manner as suggested for the hospital. Fourth; the buildings for storage of raw products, finished pro- ducts, the large manufacturing building, and the small manufactur- ing building, all of these are planned on a unit system; it being ex- pected that the full frontage of the buildings adjoining the railroad tracks will be constructed as many bays deep as would meet the re- quirements at the start; extending the bays as the needs increase until the maximum space indicated by the plan is provided, at which time the maximum requirement of the institution will be met. Fifth; the maintenance building. It is expected that this build- ing will cover the entire area indicated by the plan but for the first few years will not require more than the basement and two stories in height, but it is planned strong enough to carry two or three ad- ditional stories as the business and requirements of the institution increase, and these stories can be added at any time to meet the needs. Sixth; the large chapel, general assembly and amusement hall is a building that cannot well be constructed in units, therefore it should be one of the last to be constructed. As planned it provides Thirty-six for a seating capacity of twenty-five hundred, but should it be de- termined upon further consideration to reduce the capacity of this building the most practical method of so doing would be to reduce the size of the balcony, and this would affect more of a saving in its construction and accomplish a better result than any other scheme of reduction that could be devised. The amount of kitchen and bakery space that would be required as between provision for two thousand and three thousand would not vary enough to justify an attempt to divide the kitchen space into different units of construction. The amount of space that would be required for administration offices, school rooms, library, chapel and general utility building would not vary enough between that required for two thousand and three thousand population to justify an attempt to construct any of these departments upon a unit plan. Thirty-seven AGRICULTURAL GROUP See drawings sheets No. 11 and No. 12. HE same care has been exercised in the planning and location T of the agricultural group of buildings outside of the enclosure to provide for expansion to the maximum indicated, by the erection of proper units as the requirements demand, and the location of this group where shown brings it into such close touch with the existing group of agricultural buildings now in use on the farm by means of the direct roadways provided, as to make practicable the continuance of the use of the present buildings in their present lo- cation in connection with the farm work for such period of time as these buildings may be in fit condition to serve the purposes for which they were constructed. RESIDENTIAL GROUP Definite provision has been made in this plan for only the follow- ing residences: Residence for Warden. Deputy Warden. Chaplain. Resident Engineer. Resident Physician. The location and grouping of these buildings is shown on Drawing No. 4. It has not been thought well to provide for any sleeping rooms for guests or the public or for officers of the institution within the penitentiary itself, and it is presumed that guards and general em- ployes will have their own places of residence either in London or at such convenient locations as may best meet their requirements. Places of residence will only be furnished for the principal officers as above outlined. Thirty-eight ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT HE Bird’s-eye View, Drawing No. 12, gives a comprehensive T idea of the general and effective grouping and the architectural treatment of the same. The design of the individual units com- posing the various groups of buildings is clearly set forth by the elevations accompanying each of the building plans, and it is seen from these that expensive ornamentation and detail have been elimi- nated and reliance for artistic effect has been placed upon the proper grouping and correct lines and proportions of the various buildings. The dominant thought in the design has been to clearly show in the most logical and simple manner a true expression of the plans of the buildings. This is primarily a large housing and industrial plant for practical tramimg and manufacturing purposes. There- fore the emphasis is placed upon the proper lighting, the relation of the buildings to each other, the suitability of the buildings for the work to be carried on therein; and it has been constantly borne in mind that the greater amount of the construction would be carried on by prison labor. ‘This made even more necessary the designing of the buildings in a style that could be properly executed by labor a large amount of which is of necessity unskilled. Thirty-nine GENERAL TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS NLESS otherwise specifically mentioned the materials to be U used will be as follows for all buildings: For all structural members, floor and roof construction reinforced concrete composed of local gravel properly crushed and graded, and local sand properly cleaned, and Portland cement, with the proper amount of reinforcing metal. Where stone is mentioned for door sills, outside steps, platforms or for floors in buildings, the stone referred to is Ohio limestone from the State quarries. Where stone is mentioned for trimmings, belt courses or cornices, either northern Ohio sandstone or Bedford limestone is meant. Where brick is mentioned either for supporting walls, exterior walls, or outside wall facing, brick from the factories operated by the State of Ohio are to be used. Where interior walls are finished in brick, salt glazed Ohio brick are to be used. Where marble is mentioned for floors, base courses, or interior finish, gray Tennessee or marble of similar character, worked and finished by prison labor, is to be used. Where tile partitions are specified, ordinary hollow tile partitions are to be used. Where composition roofs are called for, asphalt and gravel com- position applied on concrete supporting slabs will be used. Where metal flashings are mentioned either galvanized ingot iron or copper will be used. Where slate roofs are mentioned the best grade of unfading green slate will be used. Where plastering is mentioned for a finish on ceilings or walls an acceptable grade of hard mortar finished in Keene’s cement will be used. Where plastered ceilings are mentioned in buildings constructed of reinforced concrete the character of construction of the ceilings must be such, either by roughening the slab or by applying the ceiling on metal furring, as to permit of an absolute and positive bond of the plastering material to the supporting structure. Where concrete finished ceilings painted are mentioned the con- Forty struction of the form work supporting the concrete when it is poured must be of such a character as to provide a practically uniform sur- face for painting and finishing. Where exposed concrete is specified for base courses of buildings or for exposed surfaces and finishes of outside walls, the outside form must be constructed smooth and must be so arranged as to be removed from the concrete work as soon as the initial set of the concrete has occurred to permit of smoothing the outside surface with a float before the final set of the concrete, to give an even, smooth, straight and workmanlike finished surface. Forty-one GENERAL CONSTRUCTION AND FINISH OF BUILDINGS LL footings, foundations, supporting members, floor, ceiling and roof construction, unless otherwise mentioned, will be of reinforced concrete. The roof construction of the large chapel and assembly hall, mess hall, kitchen, power house and small chapel will be supported by steel trusses resting either on the walls or on steel or reinforced concrete column supports. Where ceiling construction is used in buildings having steel trusses the ceiling will be plastered on metal lath sup- ported by proper metal furring. The roof slab for the assembly hall, mess hall, kitchen and power house will be of concrete supported on steel trusses, but the roof construction for the chapel will be wood rafters and heavy wood sheathing. Exterior finish of foundations up to the top of the base course surrounding all buildings will be of cement floated to a smooth sur- face after the forms are removed. Exterior finish of buildings above the base course, unless other- wise specified, will be of brick trimmed with stone as indicated on the drawings. All exterior window frames and sash, except in the agricultural buildings, will be of steel. Window frames and sash in the agricul- tural buildings will be of wood. All roofs for buildings in the Penal Group will be of composition on concrete slabs, except the roof of the chapel. This will be slate. All exterior door sills, steps and platforms will be of Ohio lime- stone. The stack in the power house will be of reinforced concrete of the size and height indicated, or in lieu of this hollow radial block may be used if thought desirable. Proper lining must be provided for this stack. The general construction of the foundations, walls and floors of the agricultural group of buildings will be the same as described above, but the roof construction of these buildings will be supported by wood trusses with wood rafters and wood sheathing. The roofing materials will be of slate unless otherwise specifically mentioned. The finished floors throughout the agricultural buildings will be cement except for the stalls in the various horse and dairy barns. The floors in the stalls will be of heavy cork block laid on concrete. Forty-two INTERIOR FINISHES HE interior walls, except in the basement, of all rooms in the administration building, the connecting corridor betweeen buildings, all cell wings and dormitories, the power house and the hospital will be finished from floor to ceiling with salt glazed brick. This does not include the walls forming the cell partitions and backs. All walls in the mess hall, kitchen, bakery and storage rooms, the toilet rooms in connection with the kitchen and bakery, and all wall finishes in the utility building, including the basement in said building, will be salt glazed brick. The interior finish of all factory buildings and the maintenance building will be either common brick walls or smooth concrete. No plastering will be used. All columns, ceilings and floors in the factory, store rooms and maintenance building will be of cement or concrete; the finish of all floors in the power house will be of cement and concrete or creasoted wood block. The ceilings throughout the cell houses and dormitories and hos- pital will be smooth concrete slabs enameled. All ceilings through- out the administration building in the first story, unless otherwise specified, will be plastered and enameled. All ceilings throughout the second story of the administration building will be smooth con- crete slabs enameled. All ceilings throughout the utility building and laundry will be smooth concrete slabs enameled. This ceiling finish above specified does not apply to the basement, except in the utility building where the bath room is located. This ceiling will be a smooth concrete slab enameled. ; All ceilings throughout the mess hall where furred down to cover construction will be finished in hard plaster enameled. Ceilings throughout the kitchen, bakery and storage rooms in connection there- with will be smooth concrete slabs enameled. The interior finish of the large chapel or assembly and amuse- ment hall will be as follows: All walls in the lobby and corridors and stairways will be finished in salt glazed brick. All walls back of the proscenium arch in the stage section and dressing room section will be finished in common brick. All construction in the stage sec- tion will be left exposed for painting. The main auditorium in this building, both on the first floor and on the balcony, will have a glazed brick wainscoting six feet high and above this point the walls and Forty-three ceilings will be finished in plaster either on brick walls or metal fur ring. The interior finish of the small chapel is as follows: All interior walls in this building, except the basement room under the main audi- torium, will be finished from floor to ceiling in salt glazed brick. The ceiling of the main auditorium and the ceilings of the small rooms on the main floor in front of the main auditorium will be finished in plaster on concrete slabs or on metal furring. All other ceilings in finished rooms in this building will be smooth concrete slabs enameled. All floors in corridors and entrance vestibules of the administra- tion building first and second stories, all floors throughout the con- necting corridor between the buildings and all floors in passageway surrounding the cell blocks on the main floor, the floor in the entrance lobby to the assembly hall, the floor of the mess hall, kitchen and bakery, the floor in the bath house in the basement of the utility build- ing, and the gallery floors in front of each tier of cells, will be of marble. The floor of the central section, or trap section, of the stage in the assembly hall will be of wood in the ordinary theatre stage type of construction. All other floors throughout the large chapel and assembly hall, the finished rooms of the small chapel, the dormitory buildings, utility building, and in fact all floors throughout the institution not other- wise specifically mentioned, will be of terrazzo or tile. CELLS All interior cells throughout the institution will be finished on three sides and the ceiling and floor in smooth concrete enameled; the supporting and partition slabs being properly reinforced. The fronts of all interior cells looking toward the windows will be of steel bars. All exterior cells throughout the institution will be finished on all four sides, floor and ceiling in smooth concrete enameled, walls and floors properly reinforced. CONSERVATORY The foundation and walls of the conservatory up to the point where glass is indicated will be of concrete, and the finished floors and walks in this building will be of concrete. All of the construction Forty-four above the concrete foundation will be of steel and glass as indicated on the drawings. SKYLIGHTS Where skylights are indicated they will be constructed of metal with rigid supports properly flashed, using galvanized ingot iron or copper for flashings. WaLL The wall enclosing the Penal Group will be constructed of con- crete with brick panels as indicated in the drawings. The base and line surrounding the panels to be concrete in a smooth finish; the coping to be stone or reinforced concrete. The thickness and height of the wall is indicated on the plan. WINbDows The general style and size of all window openings is shown on the plans and as before stated all window frames and sash through- out the Penal Group and factory section will be of steel. All win- dows of buildings in the Penal Group that extend outside of the en- closing wall except the windows in the first story of the public offices of the administration building, and all windows in the hospital and all windows in cell blocks and in the main connecting corridors will be suitably barred. Windows in the factories coming entirely within the walled en- closure will be constructed of steel but it will not be necessary to equip them with bars. All large high windows throughout the institution will be ar- ranged to operate mechanically so they can be opened and closed from the floor at will. All windows in the saw-tooth section of the roofs of the factories will be operated mechanically so they can be opened and closed from the floor for suitable ventilation of these various departments or stationary windows may be used and proper ventilators inserted in the concrete sections of saw-tooth roof. The conservatory will be equipped with mechanical operating devices for a large section of the roof. GLass All outside windows of housing buildings will be filled with ribbed glass. All other glass throughout the buildings will be clear double strength. Forty-five Doors All doors throughout the Penal Group will be either metal covered or solid steel doors as may be necessary to suit the purposes for which they are intended. All doors throughout the agricultural building section will be of wood except where fire protection is necessary, and in such case they will be metal covered. Water TOWER The water tower will be constructed in the same manner as described for the buildings in the Penal Group with concrete founda- tions, structural steel supports, enclosed with a brick wall; the roof over the tanks to be of wood construction covered with slate or tile. PiLumsine, HEATING, LIGHTING AND MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT Full description of the method of installation of equipment under these headings will be found under Mechanical Equipment, or in the descriptions of the individual buildings. Forty-siz Sothern. vi ENTRANCE MAIN DESCRIPTION OF BUILDINGS HE drawings filed accompanying this description fully illus- trate the various buildings and their general arrangement, style of architecture and general treatment. Said drawings are made to the following scales: All drawings, except those for the large factory building and the residences, are shown to a uniform scale of sixteen feet to the inch. The drawings for the large factory building are shown to a scale of thirty-two feet to the inch. The drawings for the residences are to a scale of eight feet to the inch. General dimensions over all are figured on the plans above re- ferred to and, therefore, show in the cuts reproducing said plans con- tained in this description. For this reason in the following descrip- tion dimensions will not be given, except in a few particular instances as all information regarding sizes of buildings and rooms can be ob- tained by a reference to the drawings above referred to. The drawings herewith submitted for the various buildings are such preliminary drawings as are necessary to illustrate clearly the general character of the design and type of construction to be em- ployed to such an extent as will enable competent architects and en- gineers to secure the necessary information from and through which to prepare working drawings and details that will be necessary be- fore beginning the construction of the units of improvement pro- posed and outlined. Therefore, while general supporting walls are indicated in proper scale relation on the plan, it has not been intended to figure wall thicknesses, footing sizes or strength of supporting portions of the structure, as such information can only be properly developed when the working plans are made. The cuts illustrating the drawings referred to are for con- venience assembled in the binding of this report and numbered in the order referred to. Forty-seven ADMINISTRATION BUILDING See drawngs No. 18-14-15. HIS building is located centering upon the main axis of the Penal Group in front of, but connected with the walled en- closure in a location that brings the managing offices in the closest possible touch with the work of the entire institution, and through the center of this buildmg by way of properly guarded cor- ridors is the only means of access to, or exit from, the Penal Group for the public, as all other gates to the Penal Group are closed and guarded at all times except when required to be open for the entrance or exit of trucks, cars, or prisoners in connection with the work carried on in the institution. The basement will be used only for storage and pipe space and for the location of heating and ventilating apparatus and ducts and electrical equipment. The main floor accommodates all of the general offices. The second floor provides accommodations for the library, the office of the superintendent of schools and rooms for educational work. The one main entrance to this building is located in the center of the front. The main lobby at this entrance is carried up through the two stories in height and finished with an arched ceiling. This being a great public institution it was thought well to give it char- acter and dignity in architectural treatment by emphasizing this one feature in the manner shown. This lobby will be finished in marble and stone to the ceiling, including the floor, walls and all casings, pilasters and treatment around door and window openings. The ceiling will be, a Gustavino arch. Immediately back of this lobby a transverse corridor extends from east to west. At the west end this corridor connects with the space assigned to the hired clerical force. This room will be used not only by the general clerical force but a portion will be set aside for such exhibitions of prisoners’ work as may be thought necessary or advisable. Connecting with this room is a large vault for the books and records, and immediately back of the vault, and entered only from the clerks’ space is a toilet room for those who work in this de- partment. At the east end of the transverse corridor is a general waiting room for the public, and by the public is meant visitors to the institution, either on business or for inspection purposes. To the north of this general waiting room is a private room for women and Forty-eight ONIGTING NOILLVULSININGV Aho Be) J BUILDINGS, STORM DR Jf ROADS.
