From The Indianapolis News, Wednesday, March 3, 1926: The rise of steel-reinforced concrete abutments and pillars at East Tenth St and the Belt Railroad as part of the city’s railroad elevation program will soon open East Tenth St. into Sherman Dr. and on east without the hazard of a grade level crossing by providing a safe passageway beneath the tracks. This project is one of several intervals through the ten-foot elevation that has led to a record pace of progress in industrial expansion and further development of the adjoining residential district. About 250 new homes have been built in the last year in the Shannon Park addition between Sherman Dr. and Grant Ave. Farther east, other residential additions also are being rapidly developed. Capitol Lumber Co, Marietta Glass Co, and Insley Manufacturing Co are among the industrial concerns expanding operations.
