Ohio's famous "Big Basket" building in Newark, long the seven-story corporate headquarters of the Longaberger Co., a maker of baskets, pottery, and other household items. The basket is a replica --- 160 times larger -- of another basket building in the nearby, smaller town of Dresden where the company began operations in 1973 and which had built a thriving tourism economy around baskets since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The bigger picnic-basket-style building in Newark opened in 1997. In 2016, the Longaberger Co. closed the "Big Basket" building and shifted remaining employees to its operations to the "Longaberger Homestead," a complex of office buildings, shops, restaurants in Frayzesburg, near Dresden. It has a huge basket structure, too -- piled high with decorative apples. Photo by Carol Highsmith.
