Description |
Stereograph of North Western Christian University, located on 13th Street [then Home Avenue] and College Avenue on land provided by Ovid Butler. This view looks at the southwest corner and tower of the building. People pose on the lawn and in the foreground frame with "17" written on it leaning against a camera. This brick three-story structure with stone quoins was designed by architect William Tinsley in the Collegiate Gothic style. Construction began in 1854 and was completed in 1855, with classes beginning on November 1, 1855. The college was renamed Butler University in 1877 after relocating to Irvington, at which time this building was used as the Indianapolis Orphan Asylum and later the Physio-Medical College of Indiana. The structure was demolished in November 1910 and replaced by houses. |
