"This photograph depicts the Ohio National Guard mobilizing in 1898 to travel to Cuba as part of the War with Spain. Industrial unrest in the years between 1877 and 1894 spurred the construction of fortresses like this one around the nation. The Lucas County Armory was built in 1894 and was destroyed by fire in 1934--after housing Ohio National Guard troops brought in to quell the Auto-Lite strike that year."
