Memorial Stairs – Gary, Indiana

Long Exposure Photograph of a staircase, using pink and blue with a Protomachines flashlight, inside the old Gary Public Schools Memorial Auditorium, built in 1927 to honor local veterans who died in WWI. For 70 years it was used for events like graduations and music festivals (yes, the Jackson 5 did perform here!) Three years after being added to the National Register of Historic Places, in 1997, the Great Gary Arson destroyed nearly the entirety of the massive building which could house an audience of 5000.
