Market Place and Tomlinson Hall, Indianapolis, Indiana
c1913 postcard view of Market Place and Tomlinson Hall. This view was looking north-northwest from a vantage point near the northeast corner of the intersection at Alabama and Washington Streets. The Marion County Court House was just outside this scene on the left. Market Street stretched across the center of the scene with Tomlinson Hall at the left and Market Place (City Market) in the center. Dozens of vendors with horse-drawn wagons and umbrellas lined Market and Alabama Streets. The umbrella in the lower left-hand corner advertised STAG TROUSERS.
The tallest building in the background was the Wulsin Building according to the 1914/1915 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set. A note says it was built in 1912. It still stands on the northwest corner at East Ohio and Hudson Streets (222 East Ohio Street). The map set identified the nearby castle-like building as the K. of P. (Knights of Pythias) Castle Hall. A note says it was built in 1905. It still stands on the east side of Hudson Street (230 East Ohio Street). City Hall was located next to Castle Hall on the northwest corner at Alabama Street. It has a limestone façade and still stands on that corner. A note in the map set says it was built in 1910, but most of it was hidden in this scene by the five-story Holliday Building on the southwest corner of the intersection.
From the collection of Tom Hohman.
