I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. SCAPIN_120810_10.JPG: State Capitol State capital was moved to Indianapolis, 1825, from Corydon. The capitol built on this site in 1835 was razed in 1878 to make way for this State House, completed in 1888.
2. SCAPIN_120810_28.JPG: "Oliver P. Morton" (installed 1907) Rudolf Schwartz: Commissioned by the Indiana General Assembly, this monument celebrates the legacy of Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's Civil War governor. The heroic figure of Morton stands atop the granite pedestal, flanked on either side by Union soldiers. On the front of the pedestal is a bronze relief of two crossed American flags with olive branches and a wreath of acorns and oak leaves, representing Morton's pursuit of victory and peace. Flanking the statue are two small by exquisite bronze reliefs depicting Morton in action during the Civil War. Morton later served as a United States senator, until his death on November 1, 1877. After graduating from the Vienna Academy of Art in 1889, Schwartz studied under prominent sculptors in Berlin. He came to Indianapolis in December of 1897, when he was commissioned by architect Bruno Schmitz to carve figures for the Soldiers and Sailors Monument on Monument Circle. Schwartz also served on the faculty at the Herron School of Art.
3. SCAPIN_120810_36.JPG: Civil War Arsenal 1861-1864 Governor Oliver P. Morton established a state arsenal to supply Indiana's troops with ammunition. First located adjacent to the State Capitol, the arsenal was later moved to the present site of Arsenal Technical High School.
Wikipedia Description: Indiana Statehouse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Indiana Statehouse (or State House) is the state capitol building of the U.S. state of Indiana. Housing the Indiana General Assembly, the Governor of Indiana, the state courts, and other state officials, it is located in the state capital Indianapolis at 200 West Washington Street.

A team of commissioners, including former Civil War general and civil engineer Thomas A. Morris, planned and oversaw the project. The design of Indianapolis architect Edwin May was selected in 1878, and a cornerstone was laid on September 28, 1880. Construction was completed in October 1888, supervised by architect Adolph Scherrer, May's chief draftsman, following May's death in February 1880.

Previous State Capitols:

When Indiana first became a state in 1816, the capital was located in Corydon. The Old Capitol Building there is now a state historic site. In 1825, the general assembly moved the capital to Indianapolis and met in the Marion County Courthouse. In 1831, the general assembly authorized construction of a state house on the same site as the current state house. This building, designed by the firm of Ithiel Town and Alexander Jackson Davis, had a design inspired by the Greek Parthenon and opened circa 1840. By the 1860s, it was becoming dilapidated, and it was demolished in 1877 to make way for the current building.
