They designed over 250 buildings throughout Indianapolis, the Midwest, and Florida. The firm's well-known works include: Old City Hall, Indiana Theater, Circle Tower, Circle Theater, and the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Plant. Preston C. Rubush was born in Fairfield, Indiana in 1867. In 1887, he enrolled in the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana's Builders program. Rubush came to Indianapolis in 1890 to work with the architectural firm of Adolph Scherrer and W. Scott Moore. Edgar O. Hunter was born in Versailles, Indiana in 1873. Hunter was the brother of another popular Indianapolis architect, Frank B. Hunter. Edgar Hunter received his architectural training at the University of Pennsylvania. Previous to joining Rubush, Hunter returned to Indianapolis in 1897 to work with the firm Vonnegut and Bohn. The first iteration of the firm, Scharn & Rubush, was organized in 1893. J.H. Scharn retired in 1900, and the firm became known as P.C. Rubush & Co. Rubush managed the firm by himself until Edgar O. Hunter joined him in 1905, when the firm was renamed Rubush & Hunter. Carl G. Fisher commissioned Rubush & Hunter to create a luxury resort on land around Miami Beach which Fisher had purchased on speculation. Following the success of that commission, Rubush & Hunter were asked to design buildings for Hollywood-by-the-Sea, a planned community. The project included residences, a commercial strip, a church, and a school; a hurricane in 1926 destroyed most of the community. Following the Florida commissions, Rubush & Hunter returned focus on Indianapolis commissions between 1920 and 1939. This includes work in Garfield Park, Rhodius Park, the United Brethren Church, the Brookside Park Masonic Temple, an addition to the Murat Temple, the Columbia Club, and numerous single-family residences and apartment buildings. The Great Depression challenged the firm's ability to attract larger projects, and the American Central Life Insurance Building was the last major commercial commission for the firm in 1931. Additions to the considerable Coca Cola Bottling Plant on Massachusetts Avenue occurred in 1936-1937, 1940, and 1948. Philip Weisenburgh took over as chief draftsman upon Rubush's & Hunter's retirements in 1940. Weisenburgh is attributed to many of the Florida commissions as supervisor. Although it is not known precisely when Weisenburgh joined the firm, he appears to be the chief draftsman by 1925. The partners retired in Florida; P.C. Rubush died in 1947 and E.O. Hunter died two years later. Sources: Casler, Patricia J. "The Architecture of Rubush and Hunter." Master's Thesis, Columbia University, 1985. General Collection: NA 737 .R85 1985 Greiff, Glory-June.

The city of Indianapolis was founded in 1821 as the state capital, when the Indiana State Legisla- ture sought a central location for the city and appointed a committee to choose the site. Once the site was chosen surveyors Alexander Ralston and Elias Fordham were hired to lay out the city, which was proposed as a grid of north-south and east-west streets in a mile square plat. This plat was influenced by the Pierre L’Enfant plan for Washington, D.C., which in turn was in- spired by the royal residence of Versailles. Since Indianapolis was planned as a state capital, the plat sited the State House Square and the Court House Square equidistant from Circle Street (now Monument Circle), located in the center of the Mile Square. The Governor’s house was to be situ- ated in the circular lot framed by Circle Street, and the four city blocks framing the Circle were known as the “Governor’s Square.” Four diagonal streets radiated out from the far corners of the four blocks framing the circle. All streets of the Mile Square were 90 feet wide with the exception of Washington Street, which was 120 feet wide to accommodate its intended use as the capital’s main street. The sale of lots in the new capital city on October 8, 1821 reveal the street’s importance, as lots fronting it com- manded the highest prices.

Burlingame, Ph.D., Chair Doctoral Committee ______________________________ Robert G. Barrows, Ph.D. March 6, 2015 ______________________________ Nancy Marie Robertson, Ph.D. ______________________________ Philip V. Scarpino, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments My thanks begin with my doctoral committee. Dwight Burlingame advised me throughout my entire program, chose the perfect readings for me in our dissertation seminar, helped me shape the project, and read each chapter promptly and thoughtfully. His steadfast belief in my scholarship and his infinite kindness have been invaluable. Phil Scarpino and Bob Barrows led the seminars during which my dissertation idea took shape. Nancy Robertson challenged me to look at the work from many different angles and suggested a veritable treasure trove of scholarship upon which to draw. All their questions, comments, guidance, and encouragement have helped my work more than mere words can express. My colleagues in the doctoral program and students in the undergraduate program provided unwavering support as I lovingly talked about my research, “my organization,” and “my time period.” I especially thank Barbara Duffy, who chose the Charity Organization Society of Indianapolis (1879-1883) for her History of Philanthropy doctoral seminar research project. I enjoyed talking about “our women,” sharing our emerging ideas, swapping sources, and basking in one another’s “Eureka!” moments as we made one connection after another.

And Some Other Problems We Must Solve (Editorial from PUBLIC MANAGEMENT, March, 1941) The 1940 census shows that a tremendous migration of city residents to suburban areas has taken place since 1930. The fringe areas out­ side the city limits have grown rapidly, while the rate of increase within the city limits has slowed down markedly. There are many reasons for this trend, such as improved roads and transportation facilities, lower housing costs, lower taxes, or simply the desire to own a home on a decent sized plot of ground. But for the central city the maintenance of basic municipal services Many cities are now awakening to the fact that they have directly continues unabated. Costly investments in municipal facilities, such or indirectly encouraged decentralization by making utility services available outside the city limits without charge or at the same rate as parks, sewer systems, and libraries, were undertaken in the belief paid by residents, by condoning outmoded building codes, by failure that population would remain static or continue to increase.

  • Reciprocal Clubs Procedures for Using Reciprocal Clubs
    Reciprocal Clubs Procedures for Using Reciprocal Clubs One of the privileges of The Columbia Club membership is our reciprocal arrangements with more than 200 private clubs throughout the U.S. and abroad. When visiting a reciprocal club, members must obtain a Letter of Introduction. These letters are issued to members in good standing only and may be obtained from the Membership Offices, Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The letter, which is issued in the member’s name for use by the member, is valid for the duration of your visit and is sent ahead of the member to the host club. A copy of the letter will be sent to the member for their records as well. Columbia Club members must conform to the rules, regulations and policies of the host club. It is advisable for members to call the reciprocal club prior to their visit for reservations, rules and any operational changes. Charges made by Columbia Club members at reciprocal clubs are to be settled upon departure. Additional information on your reciprocal clubs can be found on your website, www.colum- bia-club.org. To obtain a Letter of Introduction, call 317.761.7517, or email your membership coordinator at [email protected]. When contacting your membership coordinator, please have your name, member number and dates you will be visiting the club prepared. Contact individual clubs for hours of operation.
