This little house is located on Mexico Road, the main street of the little town of Mexico, Indiana. It looked a little out of place among the much larger storefront buildings that line the road. This photograph was made during my first visit to the town, on January 11.
On January 11, I was driving north on US 31 in Miami County, Indiana. I had taken my son to see his mother in Logansport and we were driving back to Fort Wayne on US 24 when I decided to take US 31 north toward Rochester. There was a place there I wanted to photograph on the way home.
We never made it there because I saw this huge arrow-shaped sign along US 31 pointing down a country road: MEXICO 1/2 MILE. I spent some time there photographing until it got too cold for us; the temperature was dropping and it was beginning to snow. I’ve been back one more time, after another visit to Logansport.
Miami County is interesting because there are several towns with Latin American or Hispanic names: Chili, Mexico, Peru, and even a Santa Fe. I plan to visit the others in the future.
I made several photographs that day and on my later visit. The photograph of the Burrows Insurance Agency was posted a few days ago, but here it is again:
