Hanging Scaffold at the Winnebago County Courthouse
Description
An account of the resource
This photograph, taken from the corner of Church and Elm Streets looking northwest, shows preparation for a hanging adjacent to the courthouse. The crowd may be gathering prior to the hanging of Clinton St. Clair on April 15, 1910, on the grounds of the County Jail and Courthouse. The jail is seen in the foreground right of center and the top of the courthouse appears in the background. St. Clair's hanging was the fourth and last hanging in Winnebago County. The other three hangings took place in 1857, 1894, and 1897. Note the high fencing surrounding the gallows. Similar depictions can be found in photos 90.5.56, 90.5.61, and 90.5.46.

Hanging Scaffold at the Winnebago County Courthouse
Description
An account of the resource
This photograph, taken on Elm Street looking west, shows preparation for a hanging adjacent to the courthouse. St. Mary's Oratory at 517 Elm Street appears in the background just left of center. The crowd may be gathering prior to the hanging of Clinton St. Clair on April 15, 1910, on the grounds of the County Jail and Courthouse. St. Clair's hanging was the fourth and last hanging in Winnebago County. The other three hangings took place in 1857, 1894, and 1897. Note the high fencing surrounding the gallows. Similar depictions can be found in photos 90.5.56 and 90.5.46. (Reference - Sinnissippi Saga, page 107.)

Dredging on the Rock River was not an unusual sight in the late 1890s. There are two people in a small boat in the lower portion.The barge and the boat are both by a trestle bridge. The floating dredging barge seen in this photograph was probably in use for increasing the depth of the channel.

Hot Air Balloon Ascension
Description
An account of the resource
A large crowd has gathered to watch as a hot air balloon is being inflated for flight. There are what appear to be homes and some larger exposition-type buildings in the background. Ballooning was not an uncommon sight in the late 1890s and early 1900s. For example, on August 20, 1899, Madame Louise De Leon, wife of local Professor Hoffman, ascended from Harlem Park several hundred feet above the ground before parachuting down. Unfortunately, she landed in the Rock River and had to be rescued. This photograph may have been taken at the Fairgrounds. Similar depictions can be found in photos 90.5.50 and 90.5.38.

An account of the resource
The closed-course race is about to start for these nine cyclists at the Fairgrounds (aka Fairgrounds Park). This event may have taken place during the county fair typically held in September. Cycling competitions were quite common in Rockford of varying distances: 1 mile, 3 miles, 5 miles, and 10 mile handicap races were widely held. The Rockford Cycling Club was founded in 1891 with headquarters at 604 West State Street in 1892. (Reference - Sinnissippi Saga, page 487.)

Hot Air Balloon Inflation and Fire Department Carriage
Description
An account of the resource
A fire carriage sits close to a hot air balloon, which lays on its side as a crowd gathers. There are buildings in the distant background. Ballooning was not an uncommon sight in the late 1890s and early 1900s. For example, on August 20, 1899, Madame Louise De Leon, wife of local Professor Hoffman, ascended from Harlem Park several hundred feet above the ground before parachuting down. Unfortunately, she landed in the Rock River and had to be rescued. This photograph may have been taken in either Harlem or Fairgrounds Park. Similar depictions can be found in photos 90.5.50 and 90.5.45.
