banking

Felix Tony McWhirter (1853-1915) was a banker from Indianapolis (born in Tennessee); also a newspaper editor, college professor, and politician. His wife was Luella Frances Smith (b. 1859) of Indiana; she served on the board of directors for the People's Deposit Bank, along with Sallie Lemon, another partner's wife--apparently they were the first two women bank directors in Indiana. Felix and Luella had three daughters and a son; both Felix and Luella were active in the Temperance movement. www.godeke.org/Psi_Phi/Ancestors_FelixMcWhirter.htm The Luella McWhirter Martin of Indianapolis in this story must surely have been a daughter (or granddaughter?) of the photo's subject: newground.iufoundation.iu.edu/articles/issue02/alt_layout...

The building behind the driver still stands and can be seen here. My guess is that E. 16th St. used to run through the park.

Thanks! We'll update the source data and reload the description.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Architecture, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

This is actually, the Old Irish Parliament Buildings which were sold to the progenitor of the Bank of Ireland. I think the title should be changed to reflect the correct name. The parliament was dissolved by act of Union at the start of the 19th century. It is still one of the Georgian set-pieces in the capital.

I wouldnt change the name considering by the time this print was made the building was owned by Band of Ireland.. perhaps add in "former Parliament House" - but the "Correct" name is definitely Bank of Ireland. I could be wrong but... if it is printed on the image itself then it must have been Bank of Ireland at the time..

Wow this is amazing, College Green without all the people, cars and buses... -- Seen in a discussion of the group "Flickr Commons" (?)

Dunwho - you clearly do not subscribe to the view in geographical circles that to name something is to own it! :) Here's a question for you - if it was an image of the Parthenon from the 18th century would you describe it as a stable - as that is what it was used for at the time?
