Could it be on Washington Street.? The sidewalk is VERY large.? Most streets were normal
sized.? That is why I thought E/W Washington,? Esp around Lockerbie area.
My great aunt was born in Indy in 1878.? She used to tell me there was no sidewalk on
Washington St that could hold James Witcomb Riley.? She knew him.? As a drunk

The Kentucky Ave. address would be very close to the Diamond Chain
factory, as a matter of fact Diamond Chain borders Kentucky and is just a
couple of blocks south of Washington St. 2 Kentucky would be on the corner
of Meridian and Kentucky. Meridian and Washington are the crossroads of
Indianapolis and all street addresses begin there going E, W, N and S and
also the diagonal directions which Kentucky is.

Hello all,
Are there any good 'detectives' out there who might help me determine
where a photo was taken?
Please see the image at
http://www.rafert.org/photos/Barbershop.htm .
The only thing I know positively about this photo is that the man
third from the right in the vest is Edward Rafert (1869-1908). He
worked at Diamond Chain and lived at 139 E. Merrill. It seems fairly
certain to me that the building they are standing in front of is a
Barbershop, but I'm not positive who it belongs to. On the window it
says Rudo....... Maur....... I've found that in 1889 a Rudolph
Mauradg appears in the City directory living at 524 E.
Washington. In 1890 a Rudolph Maurath appears as a bartender living
at 297 S. Delaware. I've not found anything more on Rudolph Mauradg,
but Rudolph Maurath appears in the same location and occupation in
1900. However by 1910 he appears as a barber and the 1914 city
directory shows his shop at 2 Kentucky. I don't have access to any
city directories between 1890 and 1914.
I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Joel
