Overview

Iconic Granville is a visual love letter to a place that never quite leaves you. Returning home after two decades away, designer and photographer Mark Pinkerton set out to reconnect with his hometown of Granville, Ohio-not through sweeping landscapes, but by focusing in on the everyday landmarks that quietly shape the memory of a place. From the old drinking fountain in front of Taylor's to the pedestrian crossing sign that once halted traffic downtown, this collection captures the objects and textures that define Granville for those who know it best. Some icons have endured, others have faded or been replaced-but each holds a place in the town's story. With a designer's eye and a local's heart, Pinkerton strips away the background to highlight the character and detail of each subject. Alongside familiar landmarks like the Granville Inn, Buxton Inn, Spring Valley Pool, and Sugar Loaf, you'll also find nods to beloved institutions like Denison University, St. Luke's Episcopal Church, and the Granville Public Library. What began as a personal project became something more universal-a study in nostalgia, permanence, and the quiet power of place. Whether you've lived in Granville your whole life, passed through as a student, or simply appreciate the visual poetry of small towns, Iconic Granville invites you to slow down and notice what lingers. Perfect as a keepsake, gift, or personal reminder, this book is both a tribute and a time capsule. Some icons change, others endure-but the charm of Granville remains.
