From The Indianapolis Star, Friday, February 3, 1922: The new Christamore Settlement House will be built in Haughville following yesterday’s decision by the College Settlement Association’s board authorizing the purchase of lots at Tremont Avenue and West Michigan Street. The $50,000 (2020: $786,121) building, designed by architect Lee Burns, will include a gymnasium, assembly hall, clubrooms, dormitory and other community center facilities. The Indianapolis board of park commissioners recently purchased the former Christamore House, 1806 Columbia Avenue, for use only by colored persons, but after neighborhood property owners protested this action the board will erect a new building in Douglass Park as a negro community house and the old Christamore Settlement building will be a community house for white persons. A delegation of colored persons said they did not wish Douglass Park to be only a park for colored persons.
