Produktbeschreibung
Farringtons Grove Historical District is the oldest section of Terre Haute. In this region, houses of the wealthy sprang up alongside homes of workingmen as the city spread beyond the Wabash River banks and the downtown area. Its name comes from James Farrington, a banker and attorney who settled there in 1841. Over the years, Farringtons Grove residents have touched lives far beyond its boundaries. Max Ehrmanns poem Desiderata has inspired people worldwide to go placidly amid the noise and haste. The Coca-Cola bottles shape owes its unique design to Earl Dean. Both racing fans and cooks owe a debt to Anton Hulman Jr., who resurrected the Indianapolis 500 and launched an advertising campaign that made Clabber Girl Baking Powder a household name. Farringtons Grove has been home to poets, political figures, industrialists, suffragettes, educators, artists, and college students.
