Abandoned Gary, Indiana

By Miki Lansdowne

Captures the haunting beauty and resilience of a once-thriving city through Miki Lansdowne's photography.

Abandoned Gary, Indiana takes you on a photographic journey into the beautifully abandoned structures of a once-thriving Rust Belt city. Author and photographer Miki Lansdowne captures the timeless essence of raw beauty hidden under the dust and decay of time. She exposes the strong steel bones that have forged the foundation of Gary, Indiana, and reassures there is a light shining bright for the rebirth of the forgotten city. From the 1920s to the late 1960s, Gary was a booming city, with a superb school system, a well-known theater for the arts and astonishing architecture. Unfortunately, segregation and automation stripped the city's walls and left Gary exposed to the elements that set the stage for decay and crime to take over. Some consider Gary an eyesore--Miki Lansdowne hopes to alter that perception.
