The Holy Rosary/Danish Church Historic District is located one mile southeast of Monument Circle, the center of Indianapolis and the core of the central business district. The Holy Rosary/Danish Church Historic District's triangular shape is formed by one of the original diagonals of the 1821 Ralston Plan Virginia Avenue which serves as the northeast boundary of the district.
The Holy Rosary/Danish Church Historic District is significant because of its unique ethnic development during the period 1854 to 1909. Platted by businessmen who were prominent in the first period of Indianapolis's settlement, the area was first inhabited by German, Irish, Scottish and Welsh immigrants who were responsible for the construction of the earliest residences. Then, as the demand for rental housing increased during the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s,the platters either sold or developed their land for the use of still more immigrants. It was during this period that Indianapolis witnessed the immigration of hundreds of Danes who sought refuge and promise of wealth in the United States. German property owners in the district opened their doors to the Danes and allowed them to rent often for only six months until they were able to purchase their own land. Although they largely moved away from the district, the Danes still had strong ties to the neighborhood and continued worshiping in the Danish church located in the core of the district.
The former Danish Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church, located at 701 East McCarty Street, is a landmark of the period, and provides both a visual and historical anchor at the core of the district. This Gothic Revival church, built in 1872, is believed to have been the first all-Danish church in the United States.
In summary, the district has witnessed a richness of ethnic diversity which continues even today. Except for the Germans and Irish, no immigrant group in Indianapolis stands out numerically. The presence of Italians and Danes, however, shows that the Hoosier capital was able to attract other groups during the time of its greatest economic development, 1880 to 1920. The proposed historic district calls attention to these immigrants and their descendants who have quietly contributed to Indianapolis for many decades. It also reminds us that they brought distinction to Indianapolis: here they built the first Italian Catholic National Church in the state and perhaps formed the first all Danish congregation in the country.

We had to layer at least 10 textures for a school project where we would then cut down into the textures to make a design. We could do photocopies, photographs, rubbings and/or drawings. I did mostly photographs. Here they are with there B&W counter-parts (it had to be B&W)

A zebra from Chester Zoo. I had to take a picture of its head because it was a little excited. David told me the last time he went it was excited too. So I attributed the rush of blood to the head, on him.
