Lockerbie Square Victorian Masterpiece

Lockerbie Square

 

In a recent post, I told about my trip to Lockerbie Square. This is an area of Indianapolis which has undergone revitalization. Most of the original homes have been refurbished, restored and updated, while retaining the original historic quality of the neighborhood. These older homes and neighborhoods have become popular for home buyers in Indianapolis.

Lockerbie Square is the oldest surviving neighborhood in Indianapolis and one of the nation's pre-eminent examples of Victorian restoration.

I met one of the homeowners while she was out trimming her gardens. I was amazed by the pristine condition of her home, which you could tell has been lovingly cared for. She showed me around her gardens; we talked about some of the history and changes she has observed in the 17 years she has lived in Lockerbie Square. I like knowing the scoop, so told her I would check back for an update.

 

 

Here's a look at her home:

Susie - Thanks for the comments......it really is a great way to spend the day or evening. When this neighborhood was being restored, all the streets were recobbled, which really adds to the charachter.

Anthea - It was fun! I really wanted to tour the inside. The owner had told me of all the updates, so my curiosity was piqued! Wouldn't you just love to stage and decorate a home like this?

Cynthia - I love the Victorian era of homes. They have some really nice condos there too. The homeowner I met was telling me about an arson fire which destroyed many of the homes on the south side of New York. The land was vacant for many years, then they put the condos in. It is really just a beautiful area.

There's nothing more welcoming than a well taken care of old victorian style home.  What a beauty- thanks for sharing!

Laurie: I agree......of course the homeowner I spoke to was bemoaning the work the home requires. With three stories and 4000 square foot, maybe I only want to visit! :)
