About Massachusetts Avenue
Connecting with historic neighborhoods Chatham Arch and Lockerbie, Mass Ave held a prominent role for residents
for decades, providing the necessities needed for daily life. It held prominence to Hoosiers outside of the city, offering a platform to buy and sell goods prior to the wholesale district.
It became a manufacturing hub, boasting numerous factories, some still standing to this day, restored and used as modern lofts.
