Indianapolis Historic Homes in Meridian Kessler

The Indianapolis historic homes of Meridian Kessler are sure to impress even the most skeptical of tourists or newcomers. A bland Meridian Kessler homes mid-Western city? Indy is anything but! A leisurely drive down Meridian Street between the neighborhood's north and south borders of Kessler Boulevard and 38th Street yields glimpses of stately homes built in the 1920s and set along tree-lined streets that are just minutes from downtown, Butler University, Broad Ripple, and many more Indy attractions.

Once the equivalent of an Indianapolis suburb, Meridian Kessler homes are still among Indy's most prestigious real estate. Many of these vintage homes have been beautifully restored and renovated. Want a closer look? The annual Meridian-Kessler Home and Garden Tour, sponsored each spring by the Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association, is a perfect opportunity to admire the architectural details and unique charm of these Indianapolis homes.

Hi Pat, there is a beauty and charm to the old and established areas of each and every city. Meridian Street and the historic homes that are found there look and sound beautiful. You give life to your fair city.

Thanks for sharing Pat,

I love the charm of the older homes and I love to see them. We have some beautifully maintained and restored homes here

in Evansville downtown area and the river front.

I would love to visit the area you described in Indy someday.. If only the walls could tell the stories of the families who have lived there...

Hi Pat,

I am not a very safe driver whenever I head down Meridian from I-465! I spend too much time looking at those beautiful and stately homes and not enough time on the road! Love those SLATE roofs! Indianapolis is a beautiful city, especially on the north side in the Kessler/Meridian Streets area.
