Description

The first clearly seen building is the office of Dr. Edward P. and Dr. Katharine S. Busse at 120 SE 1st St. This information comes from a real estate database, Completed in 1898 as an office and residence for the Busse family, the building prestigiously served as The Evansville Press Club 1911-1916. The Visiting Nurse's Association occupied the building for over 60 years-from the 1920's to 1980.It's considered to be in fair condition. Dr. Edward Phillip Busse was a physician who used this as both medical office and home, his wife, Katherine Snyder Busse, was also a doctor. He was later the superintendent at the state hospital in Madison, IN and later moved back to Evansville to be the superintendent of the Evansville State Hospital. This was designed by Harris and Shopbell, a local architectural firm. At the time of this photograph it was occupied by Research Systems Inc. The next building at 110 Walnut St. could not be located in the tax assessor's database. At the time of this photograph, it housed a marketing firm. What is seen here is only the side that faces SE 1st St., not the front. Built about 1870, with an expansion about 1920 and the carriage house addition after 1962. It housed doctors' offices, Dr. Charles F. Leich and Dr. William H. Field. A Samuel Archer was also mentioned, but it's not clear whether or not he was a doctor. It's in good condition.
