Go to Google maps, type in the addresses and you can see the houses.
Also they are in the 1940 Indianapolis City Directory at the Grand Ave address, and it
just says he is a chemist, but doesn't say where he is employed. They are not in the
1942 City Directory.

Yes, Arsenal Technical High School is still in existence. It was originally an armory.
I lived just south of it on 10th Street for quite a while in an old house I was
renovating.

Thank you, Janice. Would you be able to get digital photos of the
houses? I would be happy to pay for your time and costs.
The children were between 2 and 18 during the 1930's so the grade
school is likely. My mother went to Arsenal Technical high school.
Would that still be in existence?
Thanks, Bobbie
