Interpretive Center Interpretation Sign Wabash & Erie Canal ~ Delphi, Indiana
A Unique Configuration of 1850 facades
A Bird-eye View of Downtown Delphi in the 1850s
Dan McCain, Paul Brandenburg, Charkes Gerard & Tom Castaldi, successfully campaigned for the importance & practicality of using the historic business named & facades from Delphi's Canal Era. Charles Gerard shouldered the task of providing the architects enough authentic photos & description to faithfully represent a section of an 1850s street front in Delphi.
Understanding, architectural license has been taken to accommodate the dimensions of the Canal Center & its surrounds, but this benchmark decision allows today's onlooker to step into early, virile Delphi, a hustling trade center, rather than a generic facsimile. With the completion of the Wabash & Eric Canal to Delphi in 1840 a steady stream of fashions & new products turned Delphi into a cultural outpost in the Indiana wilderness.
