HISTORIC EVANSVILLE a Self-Guided Tour of Downtown Evansville, Indiana Buildings Numbered 58 and 59 Have Been Razed Since the First Publication of This Guide
HISTORIC EVANSVILLE A Self-guided Tour of Downtown Evansville, Indiana Buildings numbered 58 and 59 have been razed since the first publication of this guide. Welcome to Evansville! It is with pleasure that I welcome you to historic Evansville, Indiana. This guidebook will provide information on some of the prime examples of historic architecture in Downtown Evansville. The Riverside Drive Esplanade and downtown's Main Street have recently undergone significant physical improvements in an attempt to revive the city's rich heritage as a "Rivercity." Period street lighting and benches, brick paving, renewed landscaping and diesel trolleys, (reminiscent of those used in the 1890's), have been installed to visually reinforce a turn-of-the century theme by enhancing the historic character of downtown architecture. We invite both our citizens and visitors to utilize this pamphlet as a guide to explore Evansville's irreplaceable historic resources in the downtown area. 4^c U&*&* Frank F. McDonald II Cover photo from Artwork of Evansville, Indiana 1901. A birdseye Mayor view from the Old Courthouse looking toward the Ohio River. Introduction Center city and neighborhood revitalization is the key to the future of our older cities and towns. What is happening today in Evansville is not unique. Reinvestment in once-blighted neighborhoods and the recycling of historic commercial buildings is a world-wide phenomenon. This walking/driving tour guide is an introduction to some of the more interesting examples of historic preservation in downtown Evansville. Trolley Rides The Metropolitan Evansville Transit System (METS) operates two reproduction Trolleys in the Downtown area. Each travels down the Main Street Walkway (otherwise closed to vehicular traffic), with one taking a northerly circuit and the other a southerly circuit of the Downtown. -
Sons of Men, Evansville's War Record
<^^:))^^^;fp''}:-, '^^•:v:^f -^il :f^«(.M;. »':'.' !.' m. E g>ons of ^en EVANSVILLE'S WAR RECORD COMPILED BY H EIMAN BLATT LLUSTRATED PUBLISHED BY ABE P, MADISON BOOK TITLE BY C. W. SEELEY ^6 ^iozi yi%^,^5 Copyright 1920 by ABE P. MADISON SEP -I 1^20 ©Ci.A576347 TO THE REVERENT MEMORY OF THE GOLD STARS Preface Now that the war has been over for more than a yea)- and a half, com- munities as well as individuals are asked, "What have you done to help?" The fi^htinj? has been over lonj? enouj^h for the recorder of its events to obtain historical perspective and authenticity, but the events of the war are still indelibly impressed on the minds of all so as to prive an accurate and vivid account of this soul stirring period of American history. The title of the book, "Sons of Men," has special reference to the first chapter of this book, "The Gold Stars." The time and painstaking work devoted to this chapter were out of all proportion to any similar quantity of material in the volume. With few exceptions every Gold Star family was interviewed. The material was obtained from the parents, often the mother, and included not only biographical data that the parents could give, but also Government reports, telegrams, personal letters from eyewitnesses such as officers, comrades. Red Cross nur.ses and chaplains. In some cases the material was very ^cant and limited, and this fact will explain the dif- ferent lengths and variety of detail of the biographies. So many of Evansville's Gold Stars who were in active service abroad belonged to the Thirtieth Division (Old Hickory) that the experiences of the Lucky Five are a history of the military career of more than five plucky Evansville soldiers. -

Ten Years of Tuesdays Book
Ten Years of Tuesdays A brief history of The Old Dam Community Band beginning on Tuesday, February 29, 2000 By Terri Schultz The History of the Old Dam Community Band February 29, 2000 – January 2010. 1 TEN YEARS OF TUESDAYS Dedicated to everyone who ever played with us, and to Dan Schultz, who had the vision and the perseverance to make it all happen. In the words of Dan Schultz: “The Old Dam Community Band was founded on February 29, 2000 by four people: Dan and Terri Schultz, who posted advertising on radio station 88.3 and had flyers placed in store windows of several Newburgh merchants, Larry May, and Tunis McElwain. We didn’t play at that first meeting but decided to spread the word and return the following Tuesday.” “On the following Tuesday, March 7 th , five people attended… Larry May, Tunis McElwain, Jeff Westfall, who heard an announcement on the radio, Terri and myself. I had invited Michelle Brutlag of the Evansville Courier and she came to do a feature article about the effort to organize the band. She also brought a photographer. After about a half hour of talk, the four of us, myself, Larry May, Tunis McElwain, and Jeff Westfall, floundered through some Dixieland music, while Michelle interviewed Terri. Those first tunes were played from a booklet of tunes called “Dixieland Beat”… a book that the Little Old Dam Band still uses today. It didn’t sound too bad considering we had not played together before.” Michelle did a wonderful article that appeared in the Courier on March 13.. -
