I work at Cum mins and they still have some wood floor left

Really hope the powers that be allow the engineering building to be saved. Far too much of IH history is disappearing without a care. This is easily in reach to be preserved. Let's make it happen.

Hell yeah Ryan!!!! I've been going to Harvester Homecoming with my 1984 International 4370 semi truck. What a kind hard working guy to do all that!

I grew up in the exact house in Cedar lake , Ind

Good seeing Mr Slash. My pop came to take me over to my grandmother's house. We rode by where Mr Deputy Mayor Joe Slash lived back then. I remember because there was a pride in my pop voice as he pointed at the house.

I remember walking to Our Market on the Avenue to get a box of cereal. My mother gave me $2 to get any kind of cereal. I had seen so many Eull Gibbons Grape Nuts commercials, I decided to get a box. I made it back home and showed mama, she made me take it back😁😁😁😁😁😁

MY entire family, mom and pop side of the family lived off Indiana avenue. My maternal grandmother and grandfather (Allender's-Stubblefield's) moved into the apartments 1942. My faternal grandfather (Nate Hickman) owned a restuarant on the Avenue late 60's early 70's. My pop (Dickie Hickman) was scorekeeper for the Dust Bowl, my Uncle Junior played in it. I remember Ralston Evans aka Buddy Q, Mr Tyler's store, my Uncle and pop pretty much lived at the Sunset Cafe😁😁😁😁. I remember Floreen Harris aka Flo. I miss School 4 and living in Lockefield. We were poor but didn't know it because everybody else was poor. So much love and family back then. I'm too young to remember when the crime started happening but our TV was stolen 1972. We lived at 868 West North St 1968-1975. Good times back then.

I love cummins 🥰🥰🥰

what you need to know to understand our local Masonic Lodge at 2nd & Ridge, Emmaus, PA is that everyone there is a pedophile and a mole for Opus Dei. I would send you an amusing sketch i did of it on Halloween, but this medium is not classy enough to allow such things. It is pretty gruesome.

Loved the show ❤ Thank you 🎉

These videos always make me sad. If Allen County wants to develop government facilities on the IH site, why can't they just reuse the beautiful building there? It's so hard to get people to appreciate appreciate more modern, but still very significant architecture. Ive seen that barn, back when it was in better condition. Just from your short video, one can see the amazing engineering that is rapidly going extinct in that barn.

I lived in a building right by the church that was also part of the underground railroad. I had alot of strange things happen there and that aint no lie. Gods honest truth. But the church is absolutely beautiful. I used to go there everyday and sit behind the church in the garden admiring the statue

This “host” woman’s voice is awful, robotic bad impression of a news reporters cadence. Also why is she dressed like this is the flintstones?

Hello im making a doc about thia exact subject! Could i grab ab email from you?

I was just talking to my 87 yr old grandmother she was just telling my about Indiana avenue

Thanks for sharing this with us. 😢❤🔥🖤

Great presentation!

Thanks for the architectural history 🕍

I worked right off the avenue in the late 60’s. It was always a haven for crime & criminals. It’s so much better now. You want it to return to its criminal past? Ok , I guess. Lol

When doing a MCM home I suggest to get rid of the toxic LED & fluorescent lights, they are not more economical as the propaganda lies state they are, incandescent is much better. Also, remove the toxic wireless devices. Consider hiring a building biologist to make the house safe & healthy like the houses from the 50's were.

Thank you so much for your work, I really enjoyed this. All beautiful homes and interesting stories from the owners and their children.

Great program.... I am a Marsh, by last name. My Great Great Great Grandfather earned a piece of property here in Indiana by serving time in the military, given to him by deed to take in 1830.... and his children, and his children's children, made certain to attach our family name all over the northwest side of Indianapolis.

Large roof over hangs are beautiful and protect the doors, windows and siding from rain and moisture damage. Water is the enemy of buildings. Architects and home builders need to bring back large roof over hangs

Cemeteries should NEVER be dug up and moved. It's hugely disrespectful and selfish.

More remains found at site on Dec. 22, 2023. No doubt more will be found while working this site for the new soccer stadium complex.

Thanks for this!

I appreciate this information. I have been doing research on my own for a very long time each time I wish to learn about something. The homes sprinkled in all the small towns in Indiana and of course Indianapolis are my favorite subject. Absolutely fascinating.

Excellent research and very interesting. Thank you for providing this information.

This is a gem of a video. Mary Rachel asked all of the right questions and her wardrobe choices really accentuated the settings of these incredible homes. Fascinating to watch.

My Great Grandmother worked as a personal shopper for L S Ayres in the 40s. I remember going to Indianapolis at Christmas to see the holiday movie at the Circle Theater ( The Snow Queen, 101 Dalmations) and after the movie, when it had gotten dark, we looked at all the displays in the store windows. They were a lot more elaborate than the windows of the 40s in this video.

The first house is similar to the Edward Durrell Stone "House of Good Taste" in Oklahoma. I wish the house architect would have been highlighted instead of mcm furnishings etc.

Thank you for this tour 🤩Could you inform me of the name of the californian photographer in the second house (at 27'') ? Thanks a lot!

When trying to raise money to save these landmarks, you have to be VERY CAREFUL who you trust to get involved. Case in point: Fairmount High School (where James Dean went to school). Lots of money was raised to save the building while it sat there rotting with almost no work being performed other than shoring up a wall and putting a fence around it. They even had an expensive charity dinner where the Hollywood elite paid crazy prices to attend to save the building. It was completely demolished a few years back, with no one really knowing where all that money went. As far as I know, all those stars who donated money with the expectation of saving James Dean's high school were NEVER reimbursed. They did (sort of) save the auditorium stage and installed it under a pavilion at the park, but you can't really say that a few salvaged hardwood boards is the same as "James Dean performed here," when he actually performed two blocks away, three stories up, in a complete auditorium. The "rebuilt" stage at the park doesn't come close to accounting for the money that was raised to save the now-demolished high school. And the sad thing is, they STILL make money off of it by selling bricks from the demolition. So yeah, be careful who you trust raising money to save old landmarks.

We dug skeletons out of this building.

Cemetery were my mother and father, and grandmother rest in Peace amem

A wonderful walk through time. Lovely families and tour guide .

It was good talking with you Bro Chancea.

Love the commentary on bicycles. Also, they had chain small enough at the beginning to run Hollywood camera’s. P.S. I might have one or two.

Please contact me as my father, Jack Milby started as Secretary Treasurer of Diamond Chain in 1972; he was promoted to President in 1981. We hosted the 100th anniversary party of Diamond Chain at our our house at the time. Please PM to discuss.

Wonderful presentation. So great that an architectural work of art is being preserved. Great work!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing this video.

This is beautiful. Can’t help thinking I would not have been allowed to shop there.

*Promosm* 😳

As an ISU student we called the dog, Stiffy Green

Interesting that when black Americans were not allowed to live in neighborhoods with white Americans, they created their own communities that included produced businesses. Then a racist commenter (Nuanced Liars) on this video then comes to complain about the term "black spaces". Well, you wouldn't have had the need for "black spaces" in the first place if racists like this commenter (Nuanced Liars) did not exist. They can't have it both ways! You kept blacks segregated, then when they created their own spaces as a result, you're still criticizing blacks, lol?

love to see the history of Indianapolis. born and raised here my whole life. the pencil constanting tapping was a little irritating but enjoyed the video.

indiana stolen from indians. not a single tribe left there. fix that before you worry about some meaningless old structures

Great Program! I am your 900th subdcriber! Cheers!
