East Liverpool Historical Society

Windows, Tunnels, Doorways, or?

At the bottom of the steps, from the office to the basement, there was a large room, filled with a lot of "stuff". Possibly the oddest and most unique thing to catch your attention along the walls of that first basement room was the arch-like "designs" for lack of a better word. As can be seen in the next few pictures.

The idea of tunnels spider-webbed under the city is laid to rest in the following article.

Myth or Fact: Tunnels

Actual openings

Having said that we do have a couple other interesting things about the basement. The first is that one of these arch like things which had maybe been opened or someone just plain knocked a hole in the wall.

The second item of interest is the real tunnel that was built when the building was built or at a later time connecting basements of different buildings.

Hyperlinking, or as it is also called framing, without permission is not permitted.
 
Legally speaking framing is still in a murky area of the law though there have been court cases in which framing has been seen as violation of copyright law. Many cases that were taken to court ended up settling out-of-court with the one doing the framing agreeing to cease framing and to just use a regular link to the other site.
 
The East Liverpool Historical Society pays fees to keep their site online. A person framing the Society site is effectively presenting the entire East Liverpool Historical Society web site as his own site and doing it at no cost to himself, i.e. stealing the site.
