Description
Abandoned Gary, Indiana Steel Bones by Miki Lansdowne is a photographic journey through the abandoned structures of a once-thriving Rust Belt city. Captured in stunning detail, these images reveal the raw beauty hidden beneath the dust and decay of time. Gary, Indiana was once a booming city, with a superb school system, a well-known theater for the arts, and astonishing architecture. However, segregation and automation led to its decline, leaving behind a legacy of abandoned buildings and a landscape exposed to the elements. This book offers a new perspective on the city's history, one that reveals the strong steel bones that have shaped its foundation. Through her photographs, Miki Lansdowne aims to alter perceptions of Gary as an eyesore, instead showcasing the beauty and resilience of this forgotten city.
