Summary[edit]
DescriptionGhost town (89172960).jpg |
Marktown is a tiny, 25%-finished model town (ca. 1917), a village floating amidst the half-ruined steel mills and refineries of East Chicago, Indiana. Howard van Doren Shaw, better known for his North Shore palaces, designed a series of picturesque Cotswold-ish one- and two-family cottages on tiny plots arrayed on a tight grid of intimate -- nearly impassable by today's standards -- streets. Some lots remained unbuilt through the '20s (maybe explaining why the other three quadrants never materialized); nearly an entire block at its western end (end of this vista) was built with postwar Cape Cods. The eastern corner of Marktown, nearest the since-silenced millgates, is plagued with vacancy. |
