Photograph Collection Shows Unusual Beauty

Of Indiana Residences

Architects’ Display: at Ayres Includes Forty Interior and Exterior Views of Local, Upstate Homes.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON With the crocuses in bud and the chintz season imminent a renewed interest in houses and all the little touches that make for gracious living is inevitable. The unusual beauty of Indiana homes is splendidly illustrated in the collection of camera studies of Hoosier residences on display for a week in the tearoom foyer of L. S. Ayres ~ & Co. Forty exterior and interior views are included in

the exhibit by Burns & James, architects.

“Whitehall,” the beautiful suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Werbe on the bluff of White River/at Anderson, is the subject of a series of excellent photographs. Regarded as one of the best examples of Georgian architecture in the Middle West, it has been furnished with rare perfection. Mantles, originally carved of Italian marble in Italy, have been brought from old English houses and installed over the spacious fireplaces. Specially designed crystal chandeliers and a rug made in Persia to fit the entrance hall are noteworthy details. The large mirror over the dining room fireplace reflects the exquisite wall paper made in China for this particular room, the Duncan Phyfe table, Hepplewhite chairs and the deep pile of the carpet. Beyond the dainty powder room, furnished with French cabinets and chairs, the organ console is concealed in a little compartment at one side of the hall. The library with its comfortable easy chairs has book shelves and paneled walls of natural cherry finish. For the recreation room the architects designed a Navajo rug which was reproduced in the terrazzo floor. : s 2 8 s 8 8 =n Over the doorway of Mr. and Mrs. Horace A. Shonle’s house on Sunset Ave. is a spandrel carved of Indiana limestone in Renaissance design. A small pair of decorative windows with wrought iron grilles flank the entrance. In contrast to the more conventional residential architecture is Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B. Sutphin’s lodge and paddock situated in the Eagle Creek district near Traders Point. Under one roof are the lodge with its large lounging room, screened porch, kitchen and bedrooms; the paddock and the garage. Unusual interpretations of period architecture include the Elizabethan home of Arthur Osborn of Anderson with its portico of weathered wood and the ivy-covered house of Mr. and Mrs. Walter C. Marmon in Brendenwood with carved stone around the doorways, leaded glass windows and old heavy slate roof done in the best design of historic English country places. e home of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert M. Woollen in Golden Hill reflects the spirit of an Italian period and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Rabb’s house on N. Illinois St., has the dignity and gracious charm of old Charleston. A graceful wrpught iron balcony above the entrance graces the painted brick residence of Dr. and Mrs. Homer G. Hamer overlooking Williams Creek. ” ” ” ” ” 2 Mr. and Mrs. Edwin M. McNally’s recently completed house on N. Pennsylvania St. is firmly anchored on a hill. ‘Gay scenic wall . paper in the study and floral paper in the-dining room set off the antique furnishings which lend distinction to the interior. One of the most charming rooms in the house of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Sheerin on Central Ave. is the library with its walls of paneled wood, large fireplace, blocked linen draperies and long windows which reveal the sweep of the gardeh. | 3 Other Indianapolis residences pictured include those of Mr. and Mrs. Orland A. Church in Brendenwood, Mr. and Mrs. Philip R. Mallory on Sunset Ave. Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Falvey on Pleasant Run Parkway in Irvington, Mr. and Mrs. Morris Lanville Brown’s painted brick Colonial house on N. Meridian St. and the Pi Beta Phi chapter house at Butler University. In North Crow’s Nest are Dr. and Mrs. J. Jerome Littell’s painted brick house with garage of field stone, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin C. Stout’s house with its gracious garden terrace and Mr. and Mrs. Hiram J. Raffensperger’s residence. Harry I. Johnstone was associate architect for the Stout residence. A New England Colonial porch distinguishes Dr. and Mrs. David L. Smith’s house on N. Pennsylvania St. } | 2 # ” » ” One interesting group of pictures is devoted to the results achieved by intelligent remodeling of old houses. Included are “before” and “after” views of the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Carl wilde and of Mr. and Mrs. John K. Goodwin’s house in Golden Hill. The historic housz of Mrs. Edward E. Powell, built in Madison in 1830 and later ruthlessly “improved,” has been restored to its pristine

ection. It's exciting to see the pictured collection of houses ranging all the way from ircredibly fine to comparatively modest structures. The photographs in the exhibit are to be reproduced in an’early issue of a national magazine devoted to architecture. a § 3 = = : s = = Mrs. J.

But the Charlie McCarthys Wish More Peopl

Don’t let it upset you. Pity instead Indianapolis Charlie McCarthys, William Powells, Julius Caesars, George Burnses and Kenny Bakers, Indianapolis has them all Worse yet, Indianapolis has dozens of doubting Thomases and would-be humorists who call daily to verify the names. ; Calls are much the same, the afflicted near-celebrities report.

T= phone rings, according to one local Mrs. Charlie McCarthy, who asked that her.address not be used, and some member of the family answers, politely, because it might be Robert Ripley or somebody. | “It’s usually somebody,” said

Mrs. McCarthy today. “First they ask if Charlie McCarthy is our real name. When we retort that it is and that we can prove it, they think hard for an original remark, usually about a “woodenhead,” laugh long and hard, and hang up. : Three generations of Charlie McCarthys are represented in the McCarthy family at 814 E. 46th St. The phone rang the other night and someone asked for Mr. Bergen. “Mr. Bergen just stepped out for a moment, but Mr. McCarthy is here. Would you like to speak to him?” asked Mr. McCarthy. The elder Mr. McCarthy incidentally is not called Charlie but “Mr, Mac” by his wife. » » » : Se. many people ask William Powell, 216 ‘8. Walcott St, about the health of Myrna Loy that Mr. Powell undoubtedly feels he couldn’t look Miss Loy in the eye if he met her on the street. “Where’s Gracie?” everyone asks George Burns, 1119 E. Kelly St, who has a young son by the name of Bob. Bob, by the way, does not as yet play a bazooka. Mr. Burns’ wife’s name happens to be Anna, not Gracie. ) : Robert Ripley has written twice to: the Julius Caesars who moved recently to 541 8. Central Court from Coliseum Ave. Mr. Caesar so far has been too busy with his business here to go to New York to appear on the Ripley radio program. | | And, too, there is the case of electrical engineer Kenny Baker, 1151 Epler Ave, who must be stung with: envy every time he hears his crooner namesake’s voice over the air. : “Kenny can’t carry a tune in a bucket,” confided Mrs. Baker,
