From The Indianapolis News, Wednesday, June 24, 1925:  Indianapolis architects Pierre & Wright have been selected to design five homes for the great $200,000 (2024:  $3,653,142) home building project sponsored by The Indianapolis News.  The purpose of this undertaking is to acquaint the public with harmonious and satisfactory modern and artistic residences. Homes representing French, English, Spanish, Italian, and Colonial styles have been selected to demonstrate the discernment of combining beauty and useful art with sturdy utility in building that ideal of every true American – a real home.  Working with a landscape architect, Pierre & Wright will select the five home-sites from land under consideration by the News that provides natural beauty – wooded terraces and a restful vista for tired eyes – and accessibility.  Every step of development from groundbreaking to final landscaping details will be closely followed by the News.
