Sitting here thinking of all the lives changed on this field. He was thrilled. This field was soon to be turned turf. Richard ‘Coach Nell’ Hamilton Field at Tarkington Park has a nice ring to it, imo.

A rainy walk around the @butleru campus with our elder dog yielded a few ‘then and now’ photos. This is Ross Hall, at the corner of Hampton and Sunset. Built in 1953 (expanded in the 60’s) to match the styles of the existing Atherton Union and Jordan Hall. #butleruniversity – at Butler-Tarkington, Indianapolis

Been watching the old School 86 building carefully these past few months. The building is vacant, but the nearly 2 acres of property upon which it sits is owned by @butleru. Hoping that the former school building can be incorporated into whatever is planned for this land. 1/3
