During the 1850s, numerous maple trees were planted along Indiana and Michigan avenues in La Porte by local resident Sebastian Lay.
Today, Indiana and Michigan avenues comprise a historic district in the city, containing many homes and other structures of architectural and historical interest.
Between 1892 and 1894, the third and current La Porte county courthouse was erected at a cost of $ 300, 000.
The structure is built of red sandstone from Lake Superior, shipped via boat to Michigan City and then by rail to La Porte.
