University Courts
When I get the chance, I'm going to try to work on the Princess Theatre and the Cantol Wax Company Building. University Courts was also on the agenda, but way down the road; I've not done any work on it at all, other than photographing all of the contributing properties, so feel free to go ahead.

I'd advise you not to put anything in mainspace until you make use of the plentiful print resources here in Bloomington. First off, you shouldn't write until you go to the Indiana Room at the public library (see their historic files catalogue): they have information on most National Register listings, including both University Courts and Courthouse Square. It's likely that they'll have a copy of the National Register nomination form for University Courts, as they do for most of the county's other properties. You won't need to ask them for the nomination form for Courthouse Square, because it's online. Moreover, you really should use the City of Bloomington Interim Report, which I've cited at the Vinegar Hill and Steele Dunning articles; some of its information is available on the city website, but there's a lot that's only available in print.

 * Hey, I just realised that you're a new user. Welcome!  It's always good to see new people, but especially good when they're interested in the same things I am :-)  If you ever have questions, feel free to ask me: I'll give you the help you need if I can, and if I can't help you, I'll point you to people who can.

 * OK, thanks for the welcome, the advice and the pictures (I don't have a camera, so the pictures will be particularly handy). I've done some work for City of Bloomington, Housing and Neighborhood Development, so I'm pretty well plugged into the local resources.  I already have a copy of the University Courts NR nomination, for example.  Still learning how to do this Wikipedia thing, so be patient... The Cantol Wax Company was started by a man from Mexico named Timolat and his son-in-law Paul V. McNutt (governor of Indiana, 1940 presidential contender).  I have an obituary from the local paper that alludes briefly to that.  I have a little bit of data on the Princess Theater, too, if you're interested.  Wicoulte (talk) 18:03, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Very good. I've been using the local resources for months, but it sounds as if you're much more familiar with them than I.  At the moment, I have plenty of information about the Cantol building — the Indiana Room has a copy of the NR nomination form and plenty of H-T articles about it, and I've made copies for myself...now if I can find the time :-)  Nyttend (talk) 03:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Looking at your latest work on University Courts, I just realised that I never uploaded a photo of the sorority on Woodlawn. I don't have the time tonight, but I'll try to get it tomorrow; if I don't, please leave a note on my talk page to remind me.  Nyttend (talk) 05:32, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
