Our thanks
to Dan Orr, Wanatah
Indiana, for contributing these superb photos, and our apologies for
the time it took to get these posted.
"I love Gary
architecture," writes Dan. "I am using a Sony F505 with a Carl Ziess
lens. I like it because it has a 5X zoom, and I can get a lot closer to
some of the architectural elements that I like to shoot."

a burned-out storefront on Gary's old commercial strip, Broadway,
reveals three of Gary's major downtown buildings. Right to left: Genesis Towers retirement
building (formerly Hotel
Gary), occupied; City
Methodist Church,
abandoned; and the just-visible roof of the Gary Knights of Columbus
building (featured on this page).
