摘要：

Lawrenceburg was a dynamic community in southern Indiana during the 19th century. Via the Ohio River and Whitewater Canal, this planned urban center was poised to take advantage of emerging financial opportunities related to commercial activities. As the canal failed, Lawrenceburg was unable to compete with larger metropolitan centers like nearby Cincinnati. This paper examines the material record of three home lots in one of this community's neighborhoods as changes in transportation infrastructure altered the physical and cultural landscape over time. This once-vibrant urban neighborhood evolved into a marginal residential enclave, altering social relations of class and ethnicity.
