City Hotel Built in Stage Coach Era Still Going Strong After 100 Years

BV r\RL THORBAIiN Timet Slag Writer ABOUT the time when a saddle of venison or a wild turkey or a b’lshel of wild pigeons sold for 25 cents. John Little opened a hotel in Indianapolis called the Sun Tavern. This was in 1834 and the building was a small two-story frame affair. In those days. Indianapolis was just a small village emerging from the swamp lands. Wild turkeys roosted in quantity in a large sugar grove near the site on which the Public Library now stands. Wild pigeons could be knocked down with a stick, and d**er could be shot in what is now the downtown business section. Business prospered for John Little, for accommodations for the stage coach and horseback travelers were scarce. In 1847 the first railroad went through Indianapolis and a threestory *'L” was added by John's sons, Matthew and Ingraham Little. Four years later a three-storv brick hotel called Little s Tavern was built. The Tavern was the finest hotel in the city then, a* the Bates House was not built until 1852, and the elite of Ihdianapolis rubbed elbows with travel-stained voyagers from the East and West. mam JOHN M CORMICK S polished bar at the corner of the hotel was a meeting place for Whigs and Democrats, for politics flourished then as now Indianapolis had become a City Feb 13.1847, and the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher had distinguished himself in 1843 by helping to fight a fire in another hotel, the Washington Hall. This fire to a S3O 000 structure was the most destructive the city had known. Another hotel. The Capital House, built in 1849 and taken over in 1857 bv the Indianapolis Sentinel under J. J. Bingham, was blown up on the first night of its career as a newspaper office. The explosion was caused by a defective boiler and mined the entire establishment. m m m THROUGH all this destruction the landlord of Little's still waited to greet his guests as they bumped m over the old plank road laid in 1849. Little s Tavern still stands under a false front at 405 E Washing-ton-st. and is called the Tremont Hotel The story-high protico is gone and the old red bricks are hidden with modern cement blocks. But a long-coated ghost out of the past would have little troubl® finding his way about the interior. The Tavern is sturdily built from hand and sweat-hewn oak timbers and the ooms to this day are unchanged. These rooms, about 10 by 12 feet in size, are quaint, each with its small, chest-high window beside the door, through which liquid refreshment.- were supposedly passed so the occupants within. This old tavern is a monument to the builders of past generations. Through 100 years of alterations it seems solid enough, while more pretentious structures have come and gone. ALUMNI LEADER QUITS O.

AVIATION is primarily the friend of man and a boon to the business man . . . Particularly to the business man who is located in parts of the world difficult to reach. A letter mailed in the United States and addressed to Bogota. Columbia. might be delivered in 10 days by regular mail . . . although average time of delivery is from 10 to 30 days. But if that same letter was sent by air mail it would get to Bogota in four days. Here’s an interesting little angle for those who ar concerned with safety . . . and who figure speed is the main factor in accidents. A steamship which carried the regular mail to Bogota recently sunk in the Magdelena River. Boat travel on this river is notoriously slow ... and it therefore appears that dis-
