Print Description
This is a circa 1910 postmarked postcard view of Calhoun Street and the Allen County Courthouse in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The photographer was probably in (or on) a four-story building when he took this photograph. The most likely candidate was a building south of Jefferson Street at 1108-1112 South Calhoun Street. He was facing north and the nearest cross street in this scene was Washington Boulevard.
This postcard scene includes several identifiable business and advertising signs. In the shadows at the lower left was a SCHLITZ BEER sign. Two other signs in that same area advertised a TAILOR and TAILORS. A 1906 Polk business directory listed two tailors in that block, W. C. Cleary at 1026 South Calhoun Street (south of the alley) and Siebler Tailoring Co. at 1010-1012 South Calhoun (north of the alley). The remaining signs in this scene are on the east side of the street.
The courthouse is, of course, the most prominent landmark in this scene, standing between Berry Street on the south and Main Street on the north. Only three readable signs in this scene were located north of Main Street. The largest of the three advertised the H. G. SOMMERS pharmacy. The 1906 Polk directory listed a pharmacist by the name of Mrs. Mary Sommers at 627 South Calhoun Street; a 1911 directory of pharmacists listed Henry G. Sommers as the pharmacist at that address. The pharmacy was in the only four-story building in that block. (The taller five-story building seen in this view was actually north of Columbia Street.) Below the pharmacy sign was a CENTLIVRE advertisement. It may have been on top of the building on the corner. A large vertical CIGARS sign was displayed on that corner building. The 1906 and 1912 Polk directories listed a Riegel cigar shop at this location (631 South Calhoun Street).
The vertical CARPET sign was on the building at the southeast corner of Calhoun and Wayne Streets (901 Calhoun Street). Farther south, a sign advertised L. M. BECK JEWELER. The 1906 Polk directory listed that business address as 911 South Calhoun Street. Below the Beck sign was an ACME BOWLING ALLEYS sign. The 1906 directory listed the bowling address as 913 South Calhoun Street. The 1902 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set shows a bowling alley on the third floor of that building. A jeweler’s trade sign (a oversized pocket watch) was hanging on the front of the building south of the alley. The jeweler’s name, J. H. YOUNG, was on a separate sign. His business was listed in the 1906 directory at 921 South Calhoun Street. That directory also listed FOX, HITE, & CO. as furniture dealers at 923-927 South Calhoun Street (north of Washington Boulevard).
The first sign South of Washington Boulevard was BURSLEY’S HIGH GRADE COFFEE AND TEA. A Bursley's Coffee wagon was parked at the curb. The 1906 directory listed Bursley’s wholesale grocery business at 1011-1017 South Calhoun Street, but they had moved by the time the 1912 directory was published. South of the alley was an EDMUNDS sign. The 1906 directory listed an Edmunds Electric Construction Company with an address at 1019 South Calhoun Street. The remaining signs advertised SIGNS, PENNY ARCADE and SHOOTING gallery. These were all related to businesses north of Jefferson Street.
There were four bicyclists and five streetcars in the scene. The nearest streetcar was on the PONTIAC route. The time displayed on the courthouse tower clock was 1:45.

c1910 postcard view of the Indiana Union Traction Co. interurban station at Bunker Hill, Indiana. It was a rainy day and a family was on the platform posing for the photographer. The sign by the door advertised UNITED STATES EXPRESS CO. The sign on the end of the building revealed that the distance to Indianapolis was 68 miles and to Peru 8 miles. I didn't find this station on the Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets and don’t know its location.

According to my father this is on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western. I have no recollection of taking this photo. But it was 26 years ago so I'm claiming senility!

1912 postmarked postcard view of the Hotel Hays in Warsaw, Indiana. The hotel was located on the southeast corner at the intersection of Indiana and Center streets, but is no longer there. This view was looking southeast across that intersection. Three gentlemen were posing for the photographer and a station wagon was parked at the hotel entrance.
This was an unusual structure and must have been an institution in Warsaw. Secondary online sources report the hotel opened in either 1884 or 1885. The hotel appears in 1886 in a Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Warsaw, and was listed in an 1894-1895 worldwide hotel guide.¹ That guide included 21 Indiana hotels in its listing of 3,000 “notable hotels on all continents.”
From its beginning, the three-story hotel extended from Center Street south along Indiana Street to the alley. The building’s footprint remained unchanged at the time the 1892 Sanborn™ map set was published, but the hotel had expanded eastward along Center Street by the time the 1899 map set was being prepared for publication. That map set shows a sample room for salesmen and a hand laundry in the new addition. The 1905 map set shows a saloon and a billiards room (206 and 208 East Center Street, respectively) in the new addition. The large second-floor balcony over the entrance first appeared in the 1905 map set. The entrance was on Center Street, near where the station wagon was parked. The hotel was still in business as late as the 1930s.

1910 postcard view of Elm Street looking west in Gaston, Indiana. The photographer was either in or on a building on the southeast corner at the Sycamore Street intersection. He was facing west-northwest. Several buggies were in town, but the crowd of people posing for the photograph was the highlight.
Several business signs were readable. A sign on the south side of the street (left in this scene) advertised SCOTT KELLY DRUGS, TOILET ARTICLES, FINE CIGARS AND TOBACCOS. This was probably on the southwest corner of the intersection. Farther west, a sign advertised a RESTAURANT. In the intersection, one of the buggies had an umbrella advertising BO. [?] BOWLES SELLS EVERYTHING. That umbrella also had ___ PEOPLE ALL THE TIME and SHOES printed on it.
On the north side of the street, midway between Sycamore and Main Streets, were signs advertising a MEAT MARKET and the F. T. FALLIS GRANIT and QUEENSWARE store. On the northwest corner at Sycamore Street, the name FRANK BLAKELY was hard to miss. He advertised GENERAL MERCHANDISE, CLOTHING, DRY GOODS, CARPETS, SHOES and RUBBER GOODS. American flags were flying in front of that building along Sycamore Street.
The sender of this postcard was in the photo and his message on the back reads in part, "...on the opposite side you will see another X over my right shoulder. Good Bye. Your cousin Wiley Barrett." That "X" can be seen at the bottom of the close-up section 1.

c1910 postcard view of the C. C. C. & St. L. (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis) Railroad Depot at Milroy, Indiana. This railroad was commonly referred to as the Big Four. The 1908 Rush County atlas¹ showed the track running generally north to south at the east edge of town with a turn just north of Main Street. That turn is evident in this postcard scene with the depot sitting northeast of the Main Street Crossing and the elevator east of the depot. Railroad Street ran north from this point and is in the lower left-hand corner of this scene. The photographer was looking north-northeast with the Main Street intersection behind him.
Two baggage carts were parked on the concrete platform. A milk can or two and other freight were sitting on the platform as well. A hand water pump was located near the depot in the center of the scene. One of the signs on the depot advertised WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH AND CABLE CO. The other sign is unreadable. The advertising on the elevator read, EVENTUALLY WASHBURN-CROSBY GOLD MEDAL FLOUR. WHY NOT NOW? Washburn-Crosley later became General Mills.

1914 postmarked postcard view of State Street in Pendleton, Indiana. There were a few pedestrians in this scene and a handful of horse-drawn buggies and wagons. One vehicle in the distance may be an automobile. The photographer was standing west of Main Street and facing east when he took the photograph. The Main Street intersection is in the foreground.
Although this postcard has a postmark from 1914, the photograph was taken prior to 1910. The K. of P. (Knights of Pythias) Building at 16-18 West State Street (using the old street address system) was built in 1910. That building did not yet exist when this photograph was taken.
The hand water pump on the northeast corner of the Main Street intersection is shown in the 1914 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Pendleton, but not in the 1908 map set. The sign above the awning on that corner advertised DRY GOODS, SELZ SHOES and GROCERIES. Both map sets show this type of business at that location (40 West State Street). The Redmen’s Hall was on the second floor of that building. The 1908 map set shows the small wood frame building with the barber’s pole, but the building had been replaced by a single-story brick structure by the time the 1914 map set was being prepared. The 1908 and the 1914 map sets both identify the next building east (single-story brick construction) as the Pendleton Post Office (36 West State Street). Beyond the post office, the single-story wood frame building was a 5c theatre according to the 1908 map set. However, that building had also been replaced by a single-story brick structure (34 West State Street) by 1914.
Farther east, very few business signs were visible. The name on the _______ OFFICE sign east of the 5c theatre isn’t quite readable. Both map sets show a millinery shop and a grocery store in that building (30 West State Street) with a stairway between the two businesses. The sign was probably hanging above the stairway entrance and advertising a professional office on the second floor. The only other visible sign on the north side of the street is the RESTAURANT sign. The 1908 map set shows a restaurant in a single-story wood frame building west of the IOOF (Independent Order of Odd Fellows) Building. The distinctive IOOF façade is easy to identify in this photograph. However, the four small wood frame buildings to the west of it are difficult to see in this scene. The K. of P. Building and a bank replaced those small buildings and businesses in 1910.
The railroad crossing arms in the background identify the location of the C. C. C. & St. L. (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis) Railway crossing. The crossing is between Pendleton Avenue and Broadway Street. The location of the HARNESS sign on the south side of State Street matches a harness and implements business at 11 East State Street in the 1908 map set. The DENTIST sign may have been on the building at the southwest corner of Pendleton Avenue or possibly above the bank on the southeast corner. The 1908 map set shows two saloons in the building on the southwest corner (1 and 3 West State Street). A Third saloon was located at 11 West State Street, but none of the three was identifiable in this photograph. The CIGAR STORE sign advertised a store located at 5 West State Street when the 1908 map set was published. That building and several other wood frame buildings (5 West State to 15 West State) were gone by the time the 1914 map set was being prepared.
The large barber’s pole in this scene stood in front of the two-story brick building at 25 West State Street. A cigar store was located in that building when the 1908 map set was being prepared, but the 1914 map set shows a barbershop. It is unclear on which building the PENDLETON LAUNDRY sign is posted. Neither map set lists a laundry business in that vicinity. The name on the ______ OFFICE UP STAIRS sign is not quite readable. The three-story building (27-29 West State Street) housed a furniture store in 1908. The K. of P. Hall was on the second floor and the Masonic Hall was on the third floor. The small wood frame building next door (31 West State Street) was occupied by a confectionery business when both map sets were published. The word HAIR was painted on the next building west (35 West State Street). However, both map sets show a photo gallery in that building. The sign next door (37 West State Street) advertised a cobbler’s business that is shown in the 1908 map set, but was gone by the time the 1914 set was being prepared. The business sign used images of a boot and a shoe as part of the sign. A tailoring business occupied the building on the southeast corner at Main Street. The building also served as a dwelling.

From Josephine Neill's scrapbook.
There so many things (flowers, corsage ribbons, cigarettes) with Bud's name on them in Josephine's scrapbook, so the romance between Bud and Josephine during their college days must have been quite a serious one. Wish I knew what happened to their little love affair. Was she too flirty with other boys? Was he too quiet? Did they get bored with each other, argue too much? Whatever happened, neither of them married during college, I know that. Bud went off to New Mexico, and I don't know when he got married. Josephine didn't marry until long after college when she was 27 (in 1935).
“Portobello ReCollection” is a six month arts project in Notting Hill launching this Autumn 2010. We begin with transforming the 100 metre long Portobello North Wall on the Portobello Road into “Wall of Sound”, a giant shelf of records with the titles reproduced on 2 metre high album cover spines, creating an explosion of colour and type design. The celebration of the rich musical heritage of Notting Hill in this wall of sound, will emphasize the connection between the place, its people and its music; as if the wall was Notting Hill’s own private record collection.
Portobello Road. Chelsea, London.
It was a beautiful day. It felt so surreal. The feeling is still fresh in my soul. If only I could draw that feeling...
c1907 postcard view of automobiles lining Main Street in Brook, Indiana. Three license plates are readable on the parked automobiles in this scene. The license on the first automobile on the left appears to be L 150 IND and the first one on the right was Z-3-8-IND. About half way back on the right, the license was 566 IND. Those first two match the 1907 style of Indiana license plates while the third matches the 1906 style.
The photographer was standing in the middle of Main Street about half way between Railroad and Jefferson streets and looking west. Numerous automobiles were parked on both sides of the street. The porch at the left edge was part of a hotel that was identified as such in a 1916 Newton County atlas.¹ Several women were on the porch waiting for the festivities to begin. That building still stands on the south side of Main Street.
The 1916 atlas shows an unnamed street just beyond the hotel that extended the short distance south to the railroad. That street is still there. Beyond that street to the west was a small triangular block that extended west nearly to the railroad. The three buildings in this scene beyond the hotel were in that block. The two-story brick building closely resembles the two-story brick building standing at that location as of 2009. The railroad depot sat at the far end of that block along the east side of the railroad. The north end of the depot is visible in this postcard scene and an oval railroad crossing sign is visible above the last car on the north (right-hand) side of the street.
The railroad was the C. & I. C. (Chicago and Indiana Coal) Railway. It was associated with the C. & E. I. (Chicago and Eastern Illinois) Railroad and the 1916 atlas labels the railroad as the C. & E. I. This route had been abandoned by the early 1960s. The USGS topographic maps show the old railroad grade from Wadena in Benton County through Goodland, Brook and Morocco to Momence, Illinois.
The three signs posted on utility poles advertised IN A BIG TENT. Those signs included the numeral 16, but the remainder of the sign is unclear. They were probably advertising a chautauqua or other event. Maybe the gathering of automobiles was related to that event.

Shot in 1986.
The movie is called 侠女十三妹 (Sha Nu Shi San Mei). There appears to be no official English title. In one online DVD sales site I found it called "Martial Woman 13th Sister". I can't translate it any better than that. It came out in 1986.
