Reproduction map of
Michigan City, Indiana, published 1869. Land for the city was first
purchased in 1830 by Isaac C. Elston, and the city was incorporated in
1836, a town that already contained 1500 residents.
This map was
published the same year that one of the town's most notable citizens,
John H. Barker, took over his father's interest in the railroad car
company Haskell & Barker Car Company (referenced on the map). The
company later merged with the Pullman Car Company and became the
Pullman-Standard Car Company. John H. Barker was to become a highly
successful businessman and a great philanthropist to the city,
contributing substantially to the library and several other civic
buildings, including the Y. M. C. A., St. Anthony Hospital, Trinity
Episcopal Church, Barker Hall and the bandstand in Washington Park.
Detailed illustrations of the Northern Indiana Prison, the Catholic
Church and the Episcopal Church appear on the lower margin of the map,
along with an illustration of what appears to be a residence that is not
named.
