Last November 26, 2016 the Junior High School students had their recollection activity. The purpose of a recollection activity is to refresh and revitalize the mind and soul of the students for them to be once again in tune and further deepen with their relationship with God. This is achieved through relatable lectures and thought provoking activities that help the students reflect and contemplate on how they are making and breaking the teachings of Jesus in their lives and how they can bring that love back to their families. The activity ends with a confession and a thanks giving mass.
"There's a brick wall in Notting Hill near Portobello Market that I would rather look at for hours than go to Madame Tussaud's and it's totally free and full of history"

c1910 postcard view of the First M. E. Church in Wabash, Indiana. The 1893 and 1896 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets showed the M. E. Church on the northeast corner at North Cass and West Sinclair Streets. The 1901 map set shows this new First M. E. Church across the street on the northwest corner of that same intersection. The St. Bernard Catholic Church took over the old M. E. Church building. For this photograph, the photographer was standing near the southeast corner of the intersection and facing northwest.

Nearly all the photographs were portraits in comparison to now I think our materialistic minds tend to capture things more often than people.

1913 postmarked postcard view of the Showers Brothers Company in Bloomington, Indiana. The postcard production company misspelled “Showers.”
The opening line of the text reads, "The Mammoth New Plant of the World's Largest Producers of Bedroom and Dining Room Furniture.” The factory was located along the east side of North Rogers Street between Eighth and Eleventh Streets. This view was looking northeast. The building at the left edge was labeled VENEER MILL and the building east of the veneer mill was labeled SAW MILL. The office was in the small building at the lower right in this view according to the 1913 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set. The railroad in the foreground (west side of the factory) was the Monon Route (Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railway). The railroad on the far side of the factory was the I. S. (Indianapolis Southern) Railway branch of the I. C. (Illinois Central) Railroad. After nearly a century in business, the company closed in 1955, but portions of the factory have been rehabilitated and are in use today. Bloomington City Hall has been in a rehabilitated portion of the old factory since 1995.

1911 postmarked postcard view of a trolley car on the Pine Creek Trestle near Bristol, Indiana. This was the “Valley Line” route that generally followed the L. S. & M. S. (Lake Shore and Michigan Southern) Railway and the road along the south side of the St. Joseph River between Elkhart and Bristol. The interurban line ran between the road and the railroad.¹
The Pine Creek crossing was roughly four miles west-southwest of Bristol and the interurban line was running west-southwest to east-northeast. Since the L. S. & M. S. track was in the background of this scene, the photographer must have been on the north side of the Valley Line with his back to the road and facing east.
A lengthy 1955 article by Joseph Galloway² detailed the history of the Valley Line. According to that article, Northern Indiana Railway was leasing this line between Elkhart and Bristol from 1910 to 1912. Since this postcard was postmarked in 1911, the car on the line must have belonged to that company. The Galloway article also included an August 3, 1912, schedule showing 12 daily trips in each direction between Bristol and Elkhart.
In the early years of the 20th century, steam locomotives were hauling passengers and freight back and forth across northern Indiana, but there was a very large gap in the expanding electric interurban service. Passengers could not travel from Cleveland and Toledo to Chicago via the interurban system. The gap extended from Elkhart into Ohio. Elkhart entrepreneur, Herbert E. Bucklen, intended to fill that gap. He began by forming the St. Joseph Valley Traction Company and then the St. Joseph Valley Railway Company. Each company built portions of the new line that would connect Angola with Elkhart. The first completed segments connected LaGrange and Middlebury in 1905 and 1906.³ Later, the line was extended eastward to Angola and westward toward Elkhart via Bristol. The segment between Elkhart and Bristol was completed in 1910 and the segment between Middlebury and Bristol was put into service the following year. The St. Joseph Valley Railway Company operated the line east of Bristol, but the C. S. B. & N. I. (Chicago, South Bend & Northern Indiana) Railway Company operated the line between Elkhart and Bristol for a period of time using their own equipment. Both of Mr. Bucklen’s companies entered receivership shortly after his death in 1917 and the assets were sold. The line had been unprofitable and was abandoned in 1918. A short section of the route reopened briefly before it too was abandoned in 1920.
John Inbody took the photograph used in the production of this postcard. Mr. Inbody worked out of his Elkhart studio to produce some extraordinary postcard scenes. He was probably the most consistent photographer in Indiana in terms of publishing high quality real photo postcards with interesting scenes. However, he died at a relatively young age in 1915. Mr. Inbody began registering his work with the U. S. Copyright Office in 1910. it was probably from the period prior to 1910 when Mr. Inbody apparently began copyrighting his work.

1909 postmarked postcard view of Ledgerwood Street in Carlisle, Indiana. The photographer was standing a short distance southwest of the Eaton Street intersection and was facing west when he took this photograph.
The two buildings in the distance at the left edge of this postcard are in the 1905 and 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Carlisle. A billiard hall occupied the farthest building. It was a two-story brick building. The closer building was a single-story brick building and a barbershop was located there. Next door, only a small portion of the single-story wood frame building is visible. It was both a dwelling and an office in 1905. In 1910, the map set shows the office plus a small drugs business and a tailor’s shop in the building. East of that building, a banner was hanging on the small two-story brick building. This was on the southwest side of the alley and the banner advertised EDISON PHONOGRAPHS AND RECORDS. Both map sets show a drugstore in that building. A general store occupied the larger brick building. This building was still standing in 2009, but the smaller brick building was gone.

Marsden Hartley's New Mexico Recollection #6, an oil paint on canvas, was executed in 1922. Hartley strove to capture what he called the "solidity" of the landscape aroound Taos and Santa Fe. "The country of the Southwest is essentially a sculptural country," he wrote.
The Denver Art Museum, a private, non-profit museum, is known for its collection of American Indian art. Its impressive collection of more than 68,000 works includes pieces from around the world including modern and contemporary art, European and American painting and sculpture, and pre-Columbian and Spanish Colonial art. The museum was originally founded in 1893 as the Denver Artists Club. In 1918, it moved into galleries in the Denver City and County Building, and became the Denver Art Museum.
In 1971, the museum opened what is now known as the North Building, designed by Italian architect Gio Ponti and Denver-based James Sudler Associates. The seven-story structure, 210,000-square-foot building allowed the museum to display its collections under one roof for the first time. The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind and Denver firm Davis Partnership Architects, opened on October 7, 2006 to accommodate the Denver Art Museum's growing collections and programs.
Circa 1908 postcard view of Harrison Street in Alexandria, Indiana. The photographer was looking south toward the Church Street intersection. Signs on the building at the southeast corner of the intersection (125 North Harrison) advertised COCA COLA and ICE CREAM SODA. The sign above the window identified this as the E. C. ROBINSON DRUGS store. Mr. Robinson was identified as an Alexandria pharmacist as early as 1905,¹ but a 1908 directory² included this entry. “E. C. Robinson, 207 N. Harrison St., it is reported, has been succeeded by Dr. M. L. Ploughe.”
A jeweler’s trade sign (an oversize pocket watch) was mounted on a post at the curb two doors south (121 North Harrison) of the drugstore. The 1909 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Alexandria confirms these two business types in that corner building and identifies the building as the Alexandria Opera House. The opera house entrance was between the drugstore and the jeweler’s store. The banner just beyond the jeweler’s post clock appears to advertise pianos. That may have been associated with the jewelry business. The next business south according to the 1909 map set was a “Fruits” business (119 North Harrison Street).
On the west side of Harrison street south of the intersection was a RESTAURANT sign. The 1909 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Alexandria shows a restaurant at that location. A 1902 business directory³ listed a restaurant owned by W. M. Masterson at that address (116 North Harrison). The building was the Eyck & Perry Block. The 1909 map set shows a pool room located north of the restaurant at 118 North Harrison. At 120 North Harrison, the awning appears to have CLOTHING printed on it. The 1902 directory included a listing for R. Markson’s clothing shop at this address. Next door, at 122 North Harrison Street, was a sign advertising GREE__ BAZAAR. The 1909 Sanborn map set shows a bazaar at this address and the 1902 directory listed an M. J. Greir Bazaar at 106 North Harrison. (was this a misspelling of Greer?) The 106 North Harrison address was vacant when the 1909 map set was prepared. The space on the southwest corner (126 North Harrison) was also vacant when the 1909 map set was prepared. This view doesn’t reveal if the space was occupied, but the sign beside the entrance advertised a LUNCH ROOM IN THE REAR.
Across the street on the northwest corner (202 North Harrison Street), an awning advertised W. E. C. SPADES drug store. The 1902 directory listed druggists MacDonald and Jordan at this address. They were not listed in Alexandria in a 1905 directory of druggists, but W. E. C. Spades was. The 1909 map set shows a drugstore at this location. The elk antlers hanging from the corner of that building signify the location of the B. P. O. E. (Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks) Lodge on the second floor of that building.

c1910 postcard view of the Main Street Wagon Bridge over the Wabash River at Vincennes, Indiana. The photographer was standing on the bridge near the Vincennes side of the river and looking north-northwest into Illinois. This portion of the bridge was iron while the western portion was a wooden covered bridge.
A horse-drawn carriage had stopped on the bridge below an unclear advertisement for M. A. BOSWORTH ____ LUMBER 5TH ST ___ MAIN. The 1909 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Vincennes shows the M. A. Bosworth Planing Mill & Lumber Yard on the east corner at Fifth and Vigo Streets.

c1910 postcard view of Jefferson Street in Franklin, Indiana. This view was looking west from the southeast corner of East Court Street. The courthouse square was on the left with the Vawter Memorial on the grounds next to the sidewalk. A large crowd had gathered on both sides of the street. Many had umbrellas.
The banner in the background was announcing the JOHNSON CO. FAIR. Below the banner was a CLOTHING store sign. The owner's name is unclear, but was probably J. H. Payne & Son. Their store was located at 8 West Jefferson Street. The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Franklin shows a bank in the white building on the northwest corner at Main Street (2-4 West Jefferson Street). The map set shows another bank in the building with the arched façade on the northeast corner of that same intersection (2-4 East Jefferson Street). A 1902 central Indiana business directory¹ listed CITIZENS NATIONAL BANK at that address.

1909 postmarked postcard view of the roller rink at West Side Park in Muncie, Indiana. The park was developed by the Union Traction Company of Indiana under the corporate name of West Side Park Amusement Company. The Secretary of State reported the date of organization as July 7, 1905 with $10,000 in capital stock.
The roller rink was covered, but not fully enclosed. The book, Muncie Indiana in Vintage Postcards, has a different view of this attraction.

c1910 postcard view of the Crawfordsville Fruit Company in Crawfordsville, Indiana. This building and the location of the large chimney in the background match the Crawfordsville Electric Light & Power Company building shown in the 1902, 1907 and 1913 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Crawfordsville. The maps show that coal-fired generating facility on the northeast corner at North Washington and North streets. However, the 1913 map set shows a new Crawfordsville Electric Light & Power generating facility farther north between the Monon Railroad track and Sugar Creek. That map set shows the J. C. Alfrey Wood Working and Planing Mill occupying the old generating facility. The 1913 map set still showed the large 115-foot chimney at the east side of the buildings.
The photographer took this photograph from the west side of North Washington Street, and was looking across the street to the northeast. This photograph was probably taken around 1910, before the Alfrey business moved into this set of buildings.
The CRAWFORDSVILLE FRUIT CO. business name was painted on the west and south sides of the building. The sign above the doorway at the northwest corner of the building advertised CAMPBELL’S BALTIMORE SANITARY OYSTERS. The wagon on the left had CRAWFORDSVILLE FRUIT CO. painted on the side. The wagon on the right also had CRAWFORDSVILLE ________ painted on the side. The automobile was a Model T Ford with an African American behind the wheel. One of the men standing at the corner of the building was holding a dog and the woman had a large feather in her hat.

'Portobello ReCollection' is the fourth commission of the Portobello Road Arts Project.
This artwork transforms the 100-metre long wall at the northern end of Portobello Road into W11's own private record collection - a giant shelf of records representing the defining songs of Notting Hill, as identified through collaboration with DJs, musicians, record labels, stall holders and local historians.
c1910 postcard view of the American National Bank Building in Frankfort, Indiana. This building was located across from the courthouse on the northwest corner at the intersection of Washington and Jackson Streets. This view was looking northwest across that intersection. The 1906 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set shows this building with the turret on the corner and identifies the bank as the American National Bank. The 1912 map set doesn’t show the turret and doesn’t identify what bank was located in the building (64 East Washington Street). The PEOPLES LIFE INSURANCE CO. was advertised in the windows above the bank entrance.
The sign next door (62 East Washington Street) appears to advertise a CLOSING OUT SALE, ENTIRE _____ FURNITURE STOCK. MUST GO BELOW COST. OUR LEASE ______ ____. L. L. B_____ & SON. The sign painted on the window is unclear, but advertised ________ _____ STORE FURNITURE. That building wasn’t there in 1906, but shows up in the 1912 map set. The 1912 map set shows a boots and shoes business instead of the furniture store and a confectionery business next door (60 East Washington Street).
A sign on the single-story brick building north of the bank building advertised LIVERY ____. Both map sets show a livery business at that location (252-254-256 North Jackson Street). The sign on the two-story building north of the livery advertised DINWIDDIE & GADDIS, BUGGIES, WAGONS and WIRE FENCE (258 North Jackson Street). The 1906 map set shows a “harness, buggies, wagons” business in that building. The 1912 map set shows a “garage.” The advertising below the WIRE FENCE portion of that ad included the word PALACE.
The bank building and the other building on Washington Street were still standing as of 2013 with the turret on the bank building intact and the name HARKER on that building. The two buildings north of the bank no longer exist.

1910 postmarked postcard view of a group of girls posing on the steps in front of the Hartford City High School. Several bicycles were leaning against the building in the background. The school was located on the northwest corner at the intersection of West Van Cleve and North High Streets. The photographer was probably standing on the east side of High Street when he took this photograph. He was facing west and looking at the east façade of the building. The 1907 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Hartford City shows the public school on the same property a short distance northwest of the high school.

________________
The following additional information has been provided courtesy of David Enyart from his “Data Base of Indiana Court Houses.”
Randolph County was formed in 1818 entirely from land ceded from Wayne County. Randolph County was then expanded northward to the Indiana/Michigan state line until finally being reduced to its present manageable size. The third courthouse was constructed in 1877 and is still in use.
Details: Castle style architecture; National Historic Place
Cost: $80,090 - No fireproof vaults or central heating plan
Architect: J.C. Johnson
Plan Accepted: 4/8/1875
Paid: 3% of construction cost
Builder: A.J. Campfield
Contracted: 6/2/1875
Paid: $73,000
Accepted: 4/1/1877
J.C. Johnson, architect of the 1877 courthouse was self-taught but later became the state architect of Ohio. Johnson designed two Indiana Courthouses, this and the present Adams County Courthouse. He was also the construction architect of the 1878 Hamilton County Courthouse also built by Campfield after Edwin May was fired as the result of a disagreement with Campfield.
Both Adams and Randolph County’s Courthouses were copied from Johnson’s Defiance, Ohio Courthouse that had a front tower. The design of both Indiana Courthouses retained reinforcement for a front tower but both were built with center towers that were not sufficiently integrated with the basic structure. This led to serious structural problems with both towers. Periodic maintenance was required on this tower and ornate roof structures that did not occur in a timely manner which led to their removal in 1955. A need for roof remodeling was recognized at least as early as 1914.
When originally constructed, the 1877 Courthouse had entrances on the sides; these were removed in the early 1900’s to make room for more office space. When the roof was removed in 1955, the second floor was converted to a second and third floor and an elevator was added.
David has compiled additional information for this and the other 91 Indiana counties. Through David's generosity, all of that information can be found at the Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center. The web address is www.genealogycenter.info/search_incourthousehistories.php.
1914 postmarked postcard view of West Second Street in Seymour, Indiana. This view was looking west-northwest toward the businesses on the north side of the street. The photographer was standing in Second Street a short west of the Chestnut Street intersection. The Walnut Street intersection was just outside this scene on the left.
The two-story brick building near the left edge of this scene was identified in the 1907 and 1913 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Seymour as an opera house (120-122-124 West Second Street).* The entrance was at 122 West Second Street. Online directories from 1908 and 1909 listed only the Seymour Theatre in Seymour with the Seymour Theatre Company as manager. However, a similar 1912 directory and the 1912 Jackson County directory¹ listed the Majestic Theatre managed by W. W. Eagleston. The Jackson County directory gave the address as 120 West Second Street.
Both map sets show a wallpaper business at 124 West Second Street and an unidentified office at 120 West Second Street in the theatre building. The map sets show a 100-foot-tall tower atop that building, but it must have been hidden by the three-story Masonic Temple Building in the center of this scene. Both map sets show the small structure east of the opera house as a dwelling with a photography studio in back (118 West Second Street). The Jackson County directory listed Platter & Co. as a photography business at that address.
Both map sets show the Seymour Post Office (114 West Second Street) in the Masonic Temple Building along with a “moving pictures” theatre (112 West Second Street). The Jackson County directory listed this as the Dreamland Theater with Charles Williams as proprietor. The Masonic Hall was on the third floor of that building. The building next door (110 West Second Street) was home to a music business when both map sets were published. In this scene, the sign advertised PIANOS, TALKING MACHINES and ORGANS. The Jackson County directory listed Charles Steinwedel as proprietor. Next door, the sign advertised THE SEYMOUR REPUBLICAN and JOB PRINTING. The Republican was one of two newspapers published in Seymour when a 1911 national directory of newspapers² was published. The east half of that building was occupied by a hardware store (106 West Second Street) with a tin shop on the second floor. The Jackson County directory listed the Stanfield-Carlson Hardware Co. at this address.
The opera house building is no longer standing, but the Masonic Temple Building was still standing as of 2013.
The railway track in the middle of Second Street is shown in the 1907 map set as part of the I. C. & S. (Indianapolis, Columbus & Southern) Traction Co. system. This short section of track was probably used to turn trolley cars around. This section of track was also linked to the I. & L. (Indianapolis & Louisville) Traction Co. track that ran south on Chestnut Street from Second Street. The I. C. & S. Station was located two blocks east on Second Street.
*The street address system has changed since the referenced map sets were prepared. The addresses included in this description do not match current addresses.

c1910 postcard view of the building housing the Central Drug Store in Indiana Harbor, Indiana. This drugstore had been established in Indiana Harbor by 1912 when a directory of druggists¹ was published. An advertisement in a 1922 edition of the National Association of Retail Druggists Journal gave the address as 3410 Michigan Avenue. That ad was seeking an assistant or apprentice and mentioned “branch store.” The 1915 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor shows a drugstore in a three-story building at that address. The location was on the west side of Michigan Avenue just north of the Fir Street intersection. The photographer was across the street and facing northwest. A 1921 directory listed Central Drug Store as a “Rexall Store” with B. C. Lukens as manager.
The drugstore awning advertised CIGARS, TOBACCO and CONFECTIONERY. The window display included COLGATE, HYDROX and RED GLOVER products. The second floor windows advertised the dental office of DR. STEPHENS on the left and DR. ROBINSON on the right. Dr. F. E. Stephens was licensed to practice in Lake County in 1903. Dr. Clifford C. Robinson was licensed to practice medicine in Lake County in 1903. A sign in the display window read, “WAIT FOR CARS HERE.” This was apparently a streetcar and/or trolley car stop and the sign seemed to be inviting riders to wait (and browse) inside.
The retailer on the left side (3412 Michigan Avenue) is unidentified. The owner’s name, Joseph _____, is mostly obscured by the utility pole. All the products on display seemed to be liquids in glass bottles and the 1915 map set shows a saloon at that location. However, an unnamed “confectionery parlor” at this address placed a newspaper ad in 1918 seeking to hire a female employee. The awning at the right (3408 Michigan Avenue) appears to advertise a bakery. The 1915 map set doesn’t identify the type of business at that address, but does show an oven at the back of the building.

1908 postmarked postcard view of four young women posing at an unidentified railroad station in Butler, Indiana. The women were posing in front of a loaded baggage cart, suggesting they were waiting for the train to arrive.
Butler had three separate stations that served the L. S. & M. S. (Lake Shore & Michigan Southern) Railroad, the Vandalia Railroad, and the Wabash Railroad. Only the L. S. & M. S. Station is shown in the 1907 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set. The map set gives no indication that the other two stations existed yet. The L. S. & M. S. Station and the Vandalia Station are shown in the 1914 map set. The structure of the station in this postcard view does not match the footprint of either of those stations. The location of the Wabash Railroad Station is shown on the 1914 key map for Butler, but isn’t shown on a detailed map. The map shows it on the east side of Broadway Street north of the Hickory Street intersection. The railroad crossing was at that intersection and the station was on the northwest side of the tracks. The fact that the sign in this view gave distances to St. Louis and Detroit supports the notion that this is the Wabash Railroad Station.
The sign by the doorway behind the women advertised the WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH & CABLE OFFICE.
