East side of Jordan Hall under construction

Description:	Construction work is underway on the east side of Jordan Hall. A construction worker near the doorway watches from the ground as another person works next to a third story window. Before being purchased by Butler University, the land was known as Fairview Park, a 264 acre park that operated in Indianapolis from 1890 until the early 1920s. Started by the Citizens Street Railway Company, the park included a bandshell, electric fountains, a miniature railway, a merry-go-round, moving pictures, and deer and peacocks, which roamed free. The park often hosted traveling attractions such as the high diving horses, King and Queen, and in the 1910s, the Ojibwe reenacted Henry Wadsworth Longfellows Hiawatha along the banks of the Indiana Central Canal.
