[Leica] House in Churubusco

[Christopher Crawford]

Northern Indiana was never a prairie; this land was heavily forested when Fort Wayne was founded in 1794, and the town was surrounded by swamps until the late 19th century, when they were drained. The former wetlands were farmed and the forests mostly cleared for more farmland.

Churubusco is about 8 miles northwest of Fort Wayne.

The small towns around here are full of large, fancy houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that show a prosperity that 'once was' in these places. Churubusco is relatively well off, because several large factories are still in operation, and it is close enough to Fort Wayne that many residents have good jobs in the city while living in the small town.
