Lots 152. 153, & 154 circa 1866

The 1866 map shows most of Blackford's 1835 land purchase near North and West Streets still undeveloped thirty years later. Some eastern parts show subdivision, but much land remains vacant. This confirms that his 27.42-acre investment created wealth mainly for his heirs, as development happened mostly after his death. | Source: Map of Indianapolis circa 1866, provided by the Library of Congress
