Duneland Ghost Towns: Lake Shore Addition to the New Stock Yards Online
In the 1890s, the Lakeshore Addition to the New Stock Yards in Porter made headlines as the latest in a string of real estate scams out of Chicago. Hundreds of lots were sold in an area that was inaccessible by car or train, and it was nowhere near a stockyard. But after decades of abandonment, many properties went to tax auction and are today some of the most sought-after lots in the county. Learn about this fascinating tale of false advertising for land along the lakeshore.
