Please identify the tree whose eight photos, taken in September, are

The fruits in your photo very clearly seem to be those of an ash
[genus Fraxinus], but nearly all ashes have compound leaves divided
into leaflets.

Your tree, on the other hand, seems to have simple, toothed leaves.
I'd thought that the only simple-leaved ash species was _Fraxinus
anomala_ from the southwest, but its foliage appears rather different
from yours:

However,
http://ohioline.osu.edu/b700/b700_63.html

says that one commonly cultivated form of _Fraxinus excelsior_
[European Ash] has simple leaves. That's my best guess as to the
identity of your mystery tree.

That guess seems to be correct.

See

for a seeming very close match of your plant in
_Fraxinus excelsior "Hessei"
