“Souvenir of Indiana” issues were books containing reproduced photogravure images of buildings of significant architecture in Indianapolis. They were similar to that of “Indianapolis Illustrated” and “Views of Indianapolis.” Digitized versions of the 1899 and ca. 1920 issues can be viewed on the IUPUI University Library’s “Indianapolis History” website, http://ulib.iupui.edu/collections/IndyHist.
Belle C. Scofield (1874–1964) was born in Bristol, Wisconsin, to Chester Scofield and Frances Young. Scofield worked as a teacher in Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as Indianapolis in the 1930s and 1940s.
