c1910 postcard view of the interior of the Spring No. 7 building at West Baden, Indiana. Spring No. 7 was also known as Sprudel Spring. This spring was the source of the “Sprudel Water” that West Baden Springs Water Company sold nationwide. The stacked boxes in this scene were labeled "WEST BADEN SPRINGS WATER CO., WEST BADEN, IND. A 1901 report by the Indiana State Geologist included this information about the spring.
“The water of No. 7 Spring has been the principal one served hot to the guests at West Baden for a number of years. It has also been extensively bottled and shipped. A new company called the West Baden Springs Water Company has been recently formed for the purpose of distributing the waters of this and the other springs more extensively. That from No. 7 will henceforth be sold under the name of ‘Baden Sprudel.’”¹
The Sprudel Building is identified in the 1913 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for French Lick/West Baden. It was a single-story building located south of the West Baden Springs Hotel and next to the opera house. The 1906 map set for West Baden shows an older two-story structure in that same location. In 1906, the structure included two rows of iron columns (as seen in this postcard). The bottling works were on the second floor. By 1913, the bottling works and a new pump house were located adjacent to the Sprudel Building. The bottling works and the Sprudel Building were single-story construction. This postcard clearly shows the older structure while most other postcards show the newer structure. The interior of the newer building was much more impressive.

1916 postmarked postcard view of Broadway Street in Butler, Indiana. The photographer was standing south of the Depot Street intersection and looking north when he took this photograph. The building at the left still stands on the northwest corner of that intersection. The 1916 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set shows a moving pictures business on the corner and a billiards hall in the north half of the building. The K. of P. (Knights of Pythias) Hall was upstairs.
The quality of this postcard isn’t very good and few business signs are readable. However, the POST OFFICE sign is an exception on the second building from the left. The Sanborn™ map set shows the post office at that location with a telephone company office upstairs. The map set shows a barbershop north of the post office and there appears to be a short barber’s pole below the post office sign in this scene. The next business north had a large sign advertising a ____ STORE. The map set shows a drug store at that location.
There were numerous automobiles in the street. The automobile at the right edge of the scene had a license plate from 1915.

1910 postmarked postcard view of businesses along Second Street in Aurora, Indiana. This view was looking northwest through the Main Street intersection. On the left were signs for SOMERFIELDS and FRANK SCHIPPER. Somerfield had a millinery shop that both the 1906 and the 1911 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets show at 101 West Second Street.
Across the street was an advertisement for DR. PIERCE'S FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION tonic. This ad was probably associated with the drug store in the next building east. Both Sanborn™ map sets show a drug store at the west end of that building on the corner. The O. P. COBB & CO. sign advertised a business that had been selling agricultural implements in Aurora as early as the 1860s. Later, they were in the hardware and groceries businesses. Both map sets show a grocery on that corner. The sign advertising _. J. GARDINER isn’t clearly associated with anything in this scene. Across the street, on the southeast corner GROCERIES had been painted on one of the second floor turret windows.

1913 postmarked postcard view of the Brown County Courthouse in Nashville, Indiana. This courthouse is still located on the northeast corner at the intersection of Main and Van Buren Streets. This view was looking north-northeast from the vicinity of that intersection. There was a wrought iron fence along the street. A barn was in the background northeast of the courthouse.

The following additional information has been provided courtesy of David Enyart from his “Data Base of Indiana Court Houses.”
Brown County was named after General Jacob Brown – War of 1812 hero and commanding General of the U.S. Army 1821-1828. The county was organized in 1836 and created from lands ceded from Bartholomew, Jackson and Monroe Counties. The current courthouse was occupied in 1875 and is the third building to serve as the Brown County Courthouse.
Details: Designated a National Historic Place
Part of the Brown County Courthouse Historic District
Rebuild of 1853 Courthouse
Cost: $9,000
External staircase
Builder: McCormack & Sweeney
In 1836-1837 courts were held in the residence of James Dawson until the first courthouse became available. In 1853-1855 between courthouses, courts were held in a local Methodist Church.
The 1853 Courthouse was heavily damaged by fire in 1873, and was rebuilt from the foundation and remaining walls. There have been two additions on the rear of the building. The 1874-1875 rebuild is considered a new Courthouse.
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.

Flying right over my house this morning on the way to cover a Florida college football game. I love this shot! The blimp navigating the skies over the forest with the beautiful blue sky and those delicate, gorgeous clouds in the background makes the whole scene seem somewhat surreal.
The miracle of flight!
(View at Original Size and look closely...you can still make out the mooring lines dangling down from the nose of the ship.)

1908 dated postcard view of sewer construction machinery in Butler, Indiana. A surveyor's transit was set up when this photograph was taken. The postcard title indicates the view was on North Broadway, but the penciled note on the back says it was Main Street in the summer of 1908. The writer of the note was mistaken about which street this was. The shadows suggest the photographer was looking north on Broadway Street. Furthermore, the buildings in this scene appear to match those shown in the 1907 and 1914 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Butler.
The photographer was probably standing about 100 feet north of the Oak Street intersection. At the left edge of this scene, the partially visible wood frame building and the very narrow “filler” that connected it to the brick building next door are shown in both map sets. The two-story brick buildings on that side of the street extended all the way up to Main Street. The round sign hanging over the sidewalk was fairly near the south end of the first brick building. It advertised AUTO CYCLE SUPPLIES. However, both map sets show the first two businesses in that brick building to be a meat market and a boots and shoes business. The 1907 map set shows the next store to be a hardware and stoves business while the 1914 map set shows a hardware store without mentioning the stoves. In this scene, the shield-shaped sign on the post at the curb advertised GARLAND STOVES AND RANGES. This sign was probably standing in front of the hardware store. The farthest awning in this block had CIGARS AND TOBACCO printed on the fringe. Both map sets show a grocery at this location on the corner. The 1908 Butler city directory included the Oberlin Grocery Co. on North Broadway Street and listed it under the “Cigars and Tobacco” category. Also, the 1914 map set shows a cigar factory on the second floor above the grocery on that corner.
Another business sign was mostly hidden by the Garland Stoves sign. The portion that can be seen includes _ARA___ GASOL___. It may have been advertising Marathon Gasoline, but it’s difficult to determine which store it was associated with.
A sign on the south side of the street can be seen just to the left of the young man’s head. It is difficult to determine how far north the sign was located and which building it was associated with. The sign is unclear, but appears to advertise the F. MAY _______ business. The 1908 city directory listed an Edward May who was a tailor. His business was on Broadway Street. Both Sanborn™ map sets show a tailoring business in the second building north of Main Street. However, it’s not clear this sign was that far north.
The single-story building at the right edge of this scene was probably on the north side of the alley. Both map sets show a jewelry shop at that location, but there is nothing in this view to verify that.
The sign that announced the $5.00 FINE for SPITTING ON SIDEWALK was highly unusual, and that was a very steep fine in those days.

c1910 postcard view of the High School and West Ward buildings in Columbia City, Indiana. These schools are in the 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Columbia City. They were located on the west side of Walnut Street and south of Jolly Street. They faced east and this view was looking west from Walnut Street. The building on the left (south) in this view was the Columbia City High School and the building on the right (north) was the West Ward (West End Public) School. The Sanborn™ map set notes that both buildings were heated by hot air systems. Lighting was electric. The tower on the public school was 100 feet tall.

1912 postcard that was postmarked at Tefft in Jasper County, Indiana. This view showed visitors relaxing, boating and fishing at Burrows' Camp. The camp was two miles north of Tefft on the north side of the Kankakee River in Porter County. The banner on the roof at Burrows' Camp advertised CANDIES, SOFT DRINKS, CIGARS and TOBACCO. Boat rentals were 25c per day. An identical banner was hanging on the building in the background.
Dunn's Bridge spanned the Kankakee River nearby and connected Porter and Jasper Counties. The bridge was probably built circa 1894 for a local farmer with structural steel salvaged from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The community of Dunn's Bridge is located on the south side of the river in Jasper County.

c1910 postcard view of the Atlas Engine Works in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company was located along the east side of Martindale Avenue (now Dr. Andrew J. Brown Avenue) between 19th and 21st Streets. This view was looking east-northeast with Martindale Avenue on the left and 19th Street at the lower right. The company offices were located on 19th Street about half way between Martindale and Sheldon Street. The company produced steam engines and boilers at this site from 1878 until 1915 when the company was reorganized and became the Lyons-Atlas Company. A 1907 history of Indianapolis¹ reported the company had 1,800 employees.

c1910 postcard view of the P. E. DIETRICH Building in downtown Bremen, Indiana. The building was built in 1910 on the northwest corner of Center and Plymouth Streets. There was a pile of snow in the street and most of the men and women posing for the camera were wearing winter coats. A note on the back identified this building as the Dietrich Hotel. The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set identifies the facade as patent stone (manufactured imitation stone) and shows the hotel rooms on the second and third floors.
The store next door on Plymouth Street had the word CIGARS painted on the window, but the 1910 map set shows a barbershop at that location. In the Dietrich building, A NEWS STAND sign advertised that business on Plymouth Street, but the 1910 map set shows a clothing business in that space. Boxes in the newsstand window were labeled HONEST SCRAP that was apparently a chewing tobacco product. The BANK signs identified the entrance to the bank on the corner. The EAT sign on Center Street probably advertised a restaurant or possibly the hotel dining room, but the 1910 map set shows a clothing store at that location. A 1915 postcard view of the post office showed this building with a HOTEL sign above an entrance at the north end of the building.

c1910 postcard view of the Traction Terminal Freight Depot in Indianapolis, Indiana. The terminal included three long narrow buildings that extended from West Ohio Street south to West Wabash Street. They were northwest of the car shed. This view was looking south from the north side of West Ohio Street. The 1914 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set identified the four-story building in the background as the Pitman-Moore Manufacturing Chemists Building. That building stood on the southeast corner of West Wabash and North Capitol Avenue.
The 1914 Sanborn™ map set identified the occupants of each freight building as follows. The building on the east side (left in this view) was used by the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Co. The center building was used by the Union Traction Co. of Indiana (I. U. T.). The building on the west along Capitol Avenue was used by the Indianapolis, Columbus & Southern Traction Co. However, this information is inconsistent with this postcard scene. In this scene, the center building was the FREIGHT DEPOT for the COLUMBUS & SOUTHERN LINE, the SHELBYVILLE-GREENSBURG LINE and the RUSHVILLE-CONNERSVILLE LINE. An I. U. T. freight car sat beside the building on the left. Apparently, some switching of occupants occurred from time to time.
All the delivery vehicles were horse-drawn wagons. This suggests the photograph used in the production of this postcard predated 1910.

c1910 postcard view of a groceries and dry goods store in Boonville, Indiana. The sign on the store identified this as the BATES AND BATES store. They advertised FANCY AND STAPLE GROCERIES and offered CASH FOR PRODUCE. The name BAKER was painted in the lower right-hand corner of that sign. He was probably the sign painter.
A woman and young girl (Mrs. Bates and daughter?) are standing in front of the store. The hand-painted sign on the front of the store beside the girl advertised ICE, COAL and POP.
The side of the delivery wagon advertised GROCERIES, DRY GOODS, AND NOTIONS. The phone number was 127-W and this was WAGON NO. 3. There were two other wagons in this view. The one in the back appears to be of the same design as wagon no. 3. The other wagon is a simple affair—with a few pineapples lying on the seat.
