Hayes Law Desk

Ohio History
Law Desk
We began with a tour of the Hayes house. The 31-room mansion featured high ceilings, fancy furniture, and ornate trim, culminating in a four-story staircase which led to a rooftop viewing area. However, this was the only historical house we visited where we weren’t allowed to take any pictures at all. A guard actually followed the tour group to enforce the rule! There weren’t even postcards of the interior—it was a disappointment after driving so far!
Consequently, my pictures will start in the Hayes museum near the house. Rutherford Hayes was born in Delaware, Ohio. After receiving a degree in law, he set up his own law firm in Cincinnati. Above you can see the desk he used as a lawyer.
