Description

This document provides a timeline of events beginning with the 1898 entry: "The institution was founded by Mr. Grout of the Charity Organization Society." Frank W. Flanner, a white mortician of Indianapolis, offered a small property (with cottage) on Rhode Island Street, now called Colton Street, which lay in the heart of the present Lockefield Gardens Housing Project (this project closed in 1974), to the Charity Organization Society for use as a Negro Service Center. Miss Sara Colton Smith, a secretary of the organization, was appointed to take care of the property and develop a program. Miss Smith named the institution Flanner Guild. It was incorporated five years later.8.5 x 11 incheshttp://www.indianahistory.org/contact/contact.asp
