Sadly, this amazing relic from history is now a parking garage. However, it?s grandeur is preserved in this beautiful vintage photo. The Old Cincinnati Library was a wonderful display. Cast iron shelving and checkerboard marble tile made the entrance and the whole library have that classic old world feel. The floors were lit by skylights in the vaulted ceilings and patrons enjoyed both the sights and the plethora of books stocked on the library shelves. Libraries this grand rarely exist today but the longing to enter a nice library that looks like this never goes away.

Before she was the nose twinkling witchy mother that stole the heart of America, Elizabeth Montgomery had some very different roles in the movies and TV. In this beautiful vintage photo, she was playing the role of a high class woman who fell in love with a gangster. In the film, the man she was in love with, was a man who murdered men in cold blood, but that didn?t change her opinion of him. Perhaps that was because she too had played the role of a murderer before.

The teenage daughter from Married with Children reportedly only spent one evening with the charming yet rude womanizer, Brad Pitt. It?s our best guess this photo was taken on that night in 1989. Standing side by side in this beautiful vintage photo, the two stars are the epitome of 80s style. Her hair, her heavy lip and those high gloss nails just add to the look. Brad is looking very vintage too, wearing a broken-in leather jacket and unruly hair. Rumors say that shortly after this photo was taken, Christina ditched Brad for another guy and left with him.

This young woman and a much older man hold hands as they wade thru water in Belgium. In the early 1900s, bathing suits and beaches were used for more practical things, like actually bathing. Seen in the picture are wooden boxes with wagon wheels on them. Those were commonly called bath houses and provided a place for folks to bathe.

Sharon Tate looks elegant and gorgeous in this beautiful vintage photo. Perched upon a footstool, her high heels are tossed to the side in the background. Her acting career is only half of what people remember about her. After getting great reviews, she took on a role in that earned her a Golden Globe. While many know her for the role she played in that cult classic, Valley of the Dolls, her name made headlines for more than just that. In 1969, just two years after her Golden Globe award, Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson Family.

IBM?s Hollerith Machine (AKA Death Calculator).
IBM's Hollerith punch-card system stored any information, such as ethnic type, profession and residential location, in the rows and columns strategically punched. The cards could then be counted and cross-tabulated at the rate of 24,000 cards per hour, yielding almost any permutation of data.
