How Monument Circle Looked in 1889
¥% f&t - j v i | **&ggg g pg gppi ■! |§
Monument Circle in 1889 when the Columbia Club moved into its first home on the site of its new build .ig. Tills picture was fallen just \ before the laying of (he corner stone of the monument.
From his post in the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, Colonel Oran Perry, superintendent, has seen the silhouette of the Circle that surrounds his little kingdom change from a fairly uniform line of residences and small buildings to- a varied group including imposing structures. As he watched the new Columbia Club building nearing completion*, the colonel, who was a charter member of the club, recalled the days, back In 1888 and 1889, when the club was young and the Monument w—i under construction. _ Cobblestones ‘‘That street out there, where the automobiles never stop now, was made of cobblestones in those days,” Colonel Perry reminisced. "Colored expressmen, with their horses and wagons, used to wait for customers. There were many of those hauling teams. And in the winter tht men would build fires in the middie of the street and warm themselves. Not much room for fires in the street now.” Although the colonel averred he was "poor on dates and such
things,” ji® soon was in the midst of a plcturization of the Circle as it looked about that time. "All the buildings were low,” he stated. "It has been only In the last few years that the high buildings have gone up. For many years the monument, towered far, far above them. "That low building, where the Indianapolis Water Company is—l think that’s been there always. Bishop Talbott, the Episcopalian bishop, lived there for years. Next to it, where the United Labor Bank is now, the Indianapolis- Journal Was located. “Then on the other side, where the Columbia Club stances, was the Morrison home. The club bought that. Morrison was a banker—he was an aristocrat. On the corner Christ Church has stood for a long time. Residences, Too '"Across the street, of course, was the English Hotel. 1 guess that’s been there —well, I can’t remember when it was not there. It was a beautiful building. ,

“A building that was put up to house offices' used to be where the Motor Inn is now. It didn’t prosper that way, and later it became the Bates Hotel. William Morrison owned the building that was next to it. Later the Test boys .bought both those places. “There were some small residences where White’s Cafeteria is now. I used tq know some of them. And the old Sentinel had Its building on the site of the Guaranty Bldg. Later that place was the public library, and then an office building. "Across the street, where the Continental Bank’s new building stands, the Western Union had its building. I don’t remember what was there before that. "The Circle Hotel was next to that. Mrs. Rhodius (mothej of George Rhodius, for whom Rhodius park was named) owned that, after her husband’s death. They used to own the Rhodius saloon around the corner, on Meridian St. It was a well-kept place. ! "The Horace Woods livery stables
stood where the Circle Theater is now. They have not been gone so very many years. The other buildings In this block have been there for years and years, although new people are in them, of course. The building on the southeast corner at Market was known as the Franklin Bldg. There’s a statue of Benjamin Franklin above the door. "Yes, the place has changed. No (cobblestones now—no expressmen warming themselves before tires.” QUEEN IN ACCIDENT WilhelmU, of Holland Uninjured in Motor Car Crash.
