Hometown Heart

The City of Barberton was founded by industrialist Ohio Columbus Barber, who planned the town according to his vision of industry, progress, and community. O.C. Barber’s dream is what inspired me to investigate my hometown and all the things that make it both memorable and remarkable. I have been a resident of the “Magic City” for many years and have an insider’s view of what makes this city so exceptional. These images capture moments that revolve around the architecture, people, and spaces to show the individuality of this town. Barberton’s small businesses have given the city itself the abundance of qualities that make up its charm.
