Indianapolis Narrow Three Foot Alley Study
A three foot wide alley in Indianapolis is described as the narrowest improved alley in the country. It lies east of the New York store on land valued at 4 060 per front foot. The 12 000 strip was deeded to the city to stave off tax loss from James Gramling’s former property and a dispute with A B Pettis over purchase price. The New York store sits adjacent, and Gramling built a building beside the strip, but Pettis would not meet his price.
