Harry E. Phelps House

Here is a Google Street View of the house at 2401 Kenwood Ave. (Now 2401 N. Kenwood Ave.) Indianapolis Indiana 46208, where my Great Grandparents Harry E. and Amy Phelps lived with my Grandmother Lillian Phelps. The house was built in 1910. In March of 1911 Harry Phelps committed suicide by consuming a legal dose of mercury in water. A probable cause was financial failures that piled up over the years. Harry received a generous inheritance from his fathers estate but squandered it over the years. Harry's father was at one  time the head of American Express in Indianapolis. (I have no further information on the father.)
