Architecture of Northwest Ohio

The archives of the Toledo Lucas County Public Library (TLCPL) Local History and Genealogy department hold a large collection of architectural materials generously lent to the Library by the public.

On this site you can explore digitized blueprints, architectural renderings, shop drawings, projects specifications, scrapbooks, monographs drawn from the Blade Rare Book Room and more related to buildings across Toledo, Lucas County, and the surrounding region.

To see the full collection of digitized architectural materials, visit TLCPL's Digital Collections hosted by Ohio Memory. 

Please note that Digital Collections does not contain scans of all TLCPL's architectural holdings. Inquiries about buildings not represented in Digital Collections can be made by contacting the Local History and Genealogy Department.
