In 1890 South Bend was a city of more than ten thousand people, and its factories, rail yards, and river mills were tied to national debates over tariffs and the regulation of big business. Congress that year passed the Sherman Antitrust Act and took up the McKinley Tariff, measures that mattered to manufacturers who bought iron and steel and sold finished goods to distant markets. Local residents followed these fights in the city's newspapers, which also reported on ward politics, school boards, and church building. Streets of brick and frame houses climbed away from the St. Joseph River, and families who worked in the shops often lived within walking distance of them.

| Notes | An original bird's-eye view map of South Bend, Indiana, drawn in 1890. Bird's-eye view maps were drawn by travelling artists who walked a town street by street, sketching every building from an imagined vantage point in the air, then sold the finished lithograph door to door by subscription. Roughly five thousand American towns were recorded this way between the 1860s and the 1920s, and for many of them the panoramic map is the most complete picture of the place that survives. Reproduced from the original in the Library of Congress collections. Printed to order on archival paper. Free shipping on all US orders. |
