Southeast corner of West Ohio Street and Capitol Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana, circa 1896
| Description: |
Looking down from the National Surgical Institute, this birds-eye view reveals that the block was still partially residential in the 1890s, with a large brick house to the right (facing the Indiana State House) and a four-unit brick rowhouse facing Ohio Street (listed as a tenement on early Sanborn Fire Insurance maps). The Cyclorama, constructed in 1888 to house the fifty foot tall mural depicting the Battle of Atlanta, is the large round building to the right. In the distance is the Soldiers and Sailors Monument and the Marion County Courthouse. |
