100 Years Ago: April 19-25

From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, April 20, 1924: The Blue Triangle Hall, the new Y.W.C.A. boarding residence for employed girls, will open its doors this week. Located at 725 N. Pennsylvania St., the hall can accommodate as many as 115 young women, giving them pleasant rooms, wholesome meals, and congenial companionship. A girl can share one of the larger rooms with three other girls for $6.75 (2024: $122.50) a week or the girl who desires the best private room will pay $12.50 (2024: $226.85) a week. The location is within walking distance of six factories and all the department stores. The building faces the proposed Memorial Plaza, and the front rooms will look out over one of the city’s real beauty spots. It is a short block from the library and within walking distance of the John Herron Art Institute.
