Goosetown arts and crafts festival at the corner of SE 2nd St. and Adams Ave. Goosetown is a neighborhood near the inner city, roughly bounded by Washington Ave. and Madison Ave. (north to south) and Parrett St. and S. Garvin St. (west to east). It "derived its name from the common habit of 19th century homeowners keeping geese on their properties, which kept the grass short. The geese would wander the neighborhood and congregate at a water trough near the triangle corner.

The Alhambra Theatre (Theatorium at the time) at 50 Adams Ave. opened in 1913 and closed in 1956. Through the years since its closing it has undergone various revivals and remodeling attempts, one of which is currently under way in 2017. The drug store (as a business) began before 1895 and was then Haynie's Drug Store. George Washington "Haynie (1857-1939) was a well-known and respected business owner, public servant, and family man.". In addition to running his drug store from the late 1800s to 1928, he served as the commissioner of police, a board member of water works and safety, and president of the Indiana Druggist Association. President Grover Cleveland even appointed Haynie as surveyor of customs for the city. The local leader also was dubbed with the unique nickname, �Mayor of Goosetown,� in reference to the neighborhood�s large population of geese.

All that remains of the structure seen here is a boarded up building. This location is called Haynie's Corner in honor of the original druggist.
