Old Northside Historic District

The Old Northside is both an Indianapolis historic district with a rich past and an active, urban neighborhood community in the present day. The Old Northside reached a peak as the fashionable residential district of Indianapolis just before 1914. In the years following World War I, the area began a period of slow decline. In 1978 the area was placed on the federal National Register of Historic Places as an historic district, and since then most of the historic buildings have been renovated and historically sympathetic in-fill housing has been built, making The Old Northside one of the premier historic districts in the mid-west.
