c1911 postcard view of the new C. G. Conn Musical Instrument Company’s factory at Elkhart, Indiana. This factory replaced the one destroyed by fire. The 1910 Sanborn™ fire insurance map set for Elkhart shows the new factory on the south side of Elkhart Avenue (later renamed Beardsley Avenue) at the Rawlins Street (later renamed Conn Avenue) intersection. However, the factory is labeled “To Be C. G. Conn Musical Inst. Co.” on the map sheet dated August 1910. This view was looking southeast across the intersection of Elkhart Avenue and Rawlins Street.
Numerous bicycles were leaning against the front and side of the building.

OLD PORT ADELAIDE, OLD SHIPS, AND OLD IDENTITIES.
By W. J. PURVIS.
The North Parade was then the shopping centre.
This section describes North Parade from Commercial Road west to Nelson Street
The old Custom house stood on the site of the present Custom House. and was after wards used as the institute. I was the first assistant librarian in the old building under Mr. Arthur Rose.
Next west was the post office, and then came two shops - Johnson's leather store, and Chas. Downer's pharmacy. At the rear was Lamb & Paqualin's office, facing Mildred street.
Across Mildred-street was Ford's Hotel. Then came Hamilton brothers' drapery, afterwards Ballantyne's. There was an archway through which was Peter Schourup's photographic studio, Fauldings chemist shop, afterwards Hustlers, Jas. Grosse, grocer, A. and A.T. Scarfe grocers and ironmongers. John Smith Ship Inn, Lavin, baker, E.J. Butler and Co. bootmakers, T. Blackney, grocer and Mrs. Blake, fancy goods, on the corner.
This section describes North Parade from Nelson Street West to Hart's Mill and Port River.
Across the road west was Russell's British Hotel, and next Mrs. Middleton's Furniture Emporium, several small shops, and William Haddy's boot shop, "Stick Jaw Bird's" toffee shop, and Allen's butcher's shop.
Across Hare street was Mr. Stephen Haddy's cabinetmaker's shop. He was also the leading undertaker for many years, and father of the evergreen J.C. Haddy of Grenfell street, who has just passed his 84th milestone. (J.C. was once our lieutenant in the old Port Adelaide artillery under Captain Hugh Quin). Next to Mr. Haddy's were South Australian Company's cottages on high stumps and on the corner opposite Hart's Mill was Tom Yeo's hotel.
This Section of North Parade precinct is around northern end of Commercial Road.
Captain Simpson's coal heap was near the Central Ferry steps, and a weighbridge near the present flagstaff. Passing the ferry steps were the old company's gates, with John Newman's store on the corner.
The terraces (c1911 foreground) are in Hickson Rd. The Australian Gas Light Co, established gasworks in 1840, in left foreground. The gas works were demolished 1911, then replaced with wharves until demolished 2000-2008. Then a name change to Barangaroo. See comment/photos below.
Having lost all its major cinemas, only the foyer of the first c1911 cinema, The Electric Picture Theatre remains in Congleton. June 2008.

Detail of south aisle window by Clayton & Bell c1911
St Mary & St Chad's at Brewood (pronounced 'Brood') is very grand building in warm red sandstone with a soaring west steeple, though externally at least the nave appears largely Victorian, especially the eccentric outer south aisle with it's sequence of gables (echoing a lost medieval feature apparently); The chancel is clearly Early English, with lancets aplenty.
Within it is a large, cavernous space, the eye is drawn to the chancel with it's reredos and tombs, and the odd arrangement in the south aisles with their extra arcade. Here are two fonts, a simple post-Reformation one and a 'more correct' Victorian one which seems to have been demoted. Nearby is late medieval incised slab, sadly more worn, and a charming mid 17th century coloured wall monument to the Moreton family with miniature couples & children facing each other.
The real gem here however is the collection of Giffard tombs in the chancel, alabaster effigies galore, mid 16th century to early 17th, with a twosome and threesome on each side of the chancel respectively, and an extensive array of weepers (most of them appear to be shrouded babies on the earliest tomb, all surreally shown the same size as the few children who survived into adulthood).
This is a highly rewarding church, and happily, unlike many in this area, is kept open and welcoming to visitors.

Hotel Dupont, Marcola, Oregon, c 1911.
Edward D. Dupont moved to Marcola circa 1909 and built this hotel in 1910 or 1911. It was located southeast of the old grade school, with this property eventually becoming part of the grade school property and used as a playground area. It was located just inside the corner of Whitmore and Alcorn streets in modern Marcola.
Being near the railroad depot, he catered to the business traveler. His advertisements stated: "The place traveling men call home. Everything first class. Rates reasonable."
At 4:30 p. m. on February 29, 1936, the hotel burned to the ground due to what was presumed to be a flue fire. At that time it was owned by Mrs. Alice Rentala and just went by the moniker "Marcola Hotel". At that time, it was mostly a boarding house for men who worked in the Fischer mill just to the west.
If you know the year this hotel was built, please comment.

On the corner of O'Connell Street and Barton Terrace, the Caledonian was established in 1869.
‘FAREWELL TO SOLDIERS.
At the Caledonian Hotel, North Adelaide, on Friday evening, a farewell social was tendered by North Adelaide tramway employees to Tprs. H. Daulby and H. Gundersen. who are departing with the 8th Battalion A.C.H. There was a large attendance, and the proceedings were of an enthusiastic character. Tpr. J. Hazzlin, E. Hudd, and R. O'Dea were also present. Mr. J. Bradley presided, and referred to the esteem in which the departing soldiers were held. It spoke volumes for the popularity of the young fellows to see such a large crowd present that evening, and he hoped that when they returned there would be another reception awaiting them. Some people were of the opinion that they would not have any fighting to do, but he believed that much work remained to be done in South Africa. He felt sure that they would do their duty, and hoped they would return to North Adelaide in the best of health and spirits, and covered with glory. These remarks were enthusiastically received, and the cheering was prolonged when Tprs. Daulby, Gunderson, and Hazzlin suitably replied. After the loyal toasts had been honoured, an enjoyable musical programme was carried out. Messrs. W. Goodger, J. Ward, A. McNicol, and H. Renfrey contributed songs. Mr. E. R. McCarthy gave a recitation and some lightning sketches, while a youth called Kingko did some clever balancing feats. Messrs. L, Renfrey and . J. Ward acted as accompanists. The singing of Auld Lang Syne concluded the Social. Much of the success of which was duo to the arrangements of Messrs. E. Wright and A. Bradley. '

c1911 postcard view of horse-drawn wagons and customers posing in front of the Behlmer Brothers store in Batesville, Indiana. This concrete block building still stands on the west corner at George and Sycamore streets. The 1892, 1899 and 1909 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets for Batesville all show this corner vacant and show that Shelby Street was known as Greeman Street back then. One Batesville history source¹ says the building was constructed in 1911.

The Memorial Chapel.
Window by Frederick Charles Eden (1864-1944).
The Three Marias, c1911.
Three windows in the Curzon Chapel feature saints named Maria (or Mary). They were inspired by Lady Curzon’s Christian name.
Frederick Charles Eden was an architect and a pupil of William Butterfield and of George Frederick Bodley. He often designed the glass and other fittings for his own buildings and in 1910 began making his own windows.

Ethel Sands
Oil paint on canvas
Sands’s house was one of the social centres for modern art in London. Here, she hosts the artist Walter Sickert (1860–1942). Seen from an unusually high vantage point, Sickert lounges in a chair, smoking. Tea is set for three. The other figure is Sands’s partner, the US-born artist Nan Hudson (1869–1957). Despite their friendship with Sickert, as women, Sands and Hudson were excluded from the Camden Town Group of artists, in which Sickert was a pivotal figure. This picture was exhibited at London’s Carfax Gallery in 1912, where a reviewer found it ‘daring’.*

Now You See Us Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920
(May – October 2024)
Spanning 400 years, this exhibition follows women on their journeys to becoming professional artists. From Tudor times to the First World War, artists such as Mary Beale, Angelica Kauffman, Elizabeth Butler and Laura Knight paved a new artistic path for generations of women. They challenged what it meant to be a working woman of the time by going against society’s expectations – having commercial careers as artists and taking part in public exhibitions.
Including over 150 works, the show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs. Determined to succeed and refusing to be boxed in, they daringly painted what were usually thought to be subjects for male artists: history pieces, battle scenes and the nude.
The exhibition sheds light on how these artists championed equal access to art training and academy membership, breaking boundaries and overcoming many obstacles to establish what it meant to be a woman in the art world.

In 1911 Grave and Dwyer Motor Co., the agency for the "Standard" motor car.
In 1912 to 1925 this was Grave and Dwyer Motor Co and R. S.Cumpston the Engraver and Dye-sinker.
In 1926 to 1954 this was Comet Motors Ltd, Ford Motor Car Agents and R. S.Cumpston Engraver and Dye-sinker.
In Jun 1916 it was reported that, "Dan Dwyer of the Garage, drives for his own family use, the most dilapidated motor car in Perth, while selling some of the smartest".
In Sep 1916 it was reported that, "A few weeks ago appeared in this paper a few lines of airy persiflage to the effect that Dan Dwyer, of the Grave and Dwyer Motor Works, drove the absolutely most disreputable car in Perth. Whereupon, after perusing the said screed, D.D. started to sum it up, admit the impeachment, and get to work on a new car which is about to astonish the State. Retaining his old Ford chassis, he had a body built at Daniel White's that will make even Morrie Crawcour's pretty Sunbeam look like tbree'ha'pence and put Jimmy Nicholas's cream-colored speeder in a back-street garage. Dan's beautiful toy ls a dazzling enamel white, which he'll find out when he has to wash it down and repaint. "That par. of yours", said Freddy Grave, Dan's partner, "has cost our firm about a hundred and fifty jim, Until 'The Sunday Times' spoke, Dan was quite content with his bus. Now nothing but the best is good enough."

Listed Grade II*
Large detached house, latterly a school, in conversion to dwellings at time of survey. Mid to late C18. Ashlar limestone. A picturesque Gothick mansion with a formal, north facing principal block with symmetrical two-storey semi-octagonal bays, large projecting semi-octagonal bay with staircase at rear, and flanked by rambling service wing to right; later, C20 extensions not included.
Main front, two storeys, 3+3+3 windows, all with ogee heads and pilasters with impost blocks, ground floor central pair with ogee head plus ogee, and central first floor light between pilasters. Central pair 6-panel doors under cusped flat ogee head, with Batty Langley corinthianesque columns, quatrefoil plan, with coved, decorated cornice, approached by two steps. Long two storey wing, right with central canted bay set back behind crenellated corridor connection, 3-windowed, under flat four-centred heads, sashes with glazing bars; in return at far end plain pointed windows with sashes and bars painted in blank panels, large semi-circular stair turret.
Interiors: some rich Gothick decoration especially in octagonal room, ground floor, left, with flat ogee-headed panels and delicate crenellation to cornice and pinnacled side panels to fireplace; twisted guillocle decoration to dado rail; massive stone fireplace in central hall and double doors flanked by 4 grouped Batty Langley columns, and with coved cornice with intersecting pointed arch decoration. Grand staircase on octagonal plan in open well, swept handrail to trefoil-headed balusters in two ranges, and circular newels at changes of direction; treads with moulded nosings and decorative strings combining quatrefoil and trefoil motifs. Octagonal roof-light over. Right of main hall large saloon with bay, panelled in classical manner but with Gothick decorations; partitions timber framed, plaster facings.
This is a major example of the Gothick country house style, with, at time of survey, substantial remains of original interior decor, of significance.

Coley.
Unused postcard. View from the new Churchyard on the opposite side of Coley Road. In this yard are buried a couple of members of the Stocks family and Frederick Crowther (and several family members) who worked for them, and helped mark out this yard.
The Church once served Queensbury and Haley Hill etc. Those parts of the Parish were later to come under Holy Trintiy (Queensbury) still going, and All Souls (Haley Hill) redundant. Much later in c1911 St Matthews Church (Northowram) was built, that church is still used.
The church at Coley still has a congregation despite it's location.
Around 20 years ago the company using the old P&M factory site had a huge problem with rats, they got in a pest exterminator and he found the rats were coming from an underground room that had been sealed up many years earlier.
That room was full of c1911 P&M spares....handlebars, cylinders, frame tubes and all sorts of bits.
The hoard was sold off and did the autojumbles for a while.

The Parade Gardens is a grade II listed park in Bath, Somerset, England. The gardens are situated to the south of the Empire Hotel, Bath and 250 yards to the east of Bath Abbey.
There is a small fee to enter Parade Gardens or residents with a Discovery Card have free access. There is also a cafe on site.
Originally known as St James's Park, it was laid out in 1709 to accompany Assembly Rooms for Spa visitors, which were built by Thomas Harrison and conceived by Beau Nash. With the construction of the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution in 1824 on the site of the former assembly rooms, the gardens became known as the Institution Gardens.

St Paul's church at Woodhouse Eaves dates back to 1837 when it was built to the designs of William Railton and subsequently altered with transept extensions in 1880. It is a substantial 19th century church with a west tower and a wide nave flanked by double-transepts and a narrower chancel beyond, all in a pseudo-Early-English style with lancet windows throughout.
The inside is light and spacious and feels a well loved and maintained church. There is a good mixture of Victorian glass in many of the windows, but the most rewarding here are the smaller pair of Arts & Crafts windows in the chancel by Theodora Salusbury.
Woodhouse Eaves church is probably normally kept locked like most in the area outside of service times, but is worth seeing inside if at all possible.
