A fenced basketball court in Marktown, East Chicago, Indiana, stands beside industrial buildings near the Indiana Harbor corridor. Marktown was developed in the early 20th century as a planned workers' community for nearby steel industry employees, and its residential blocks remain closely bordered by heavy industry. The court and surrounding utility and plant structures show the proximity between neighborhood recreation space and the industrial landscape along this section of East Chicago.
