Description: |
This volume contains the early history of the Südseite Turnverein (South Side Turners) from September 1893 to October 1900, with additional information about the ladies section and the Turn Verein Hall Association. The club formed in 1893 when about 200 German Americans left the Socialer Turnverein in Indianapolis, Indiana to form their own turnverein, or gymnastics club, on the citys south side. The organization first met at Phoenix Garden at the corner of Morris and Meridian streets, but constructed their own hall, designed by Vonnegut & Bohn, at 306 Prospect Street in 1900. |
