Old Northside Historic District

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.

Geographically, the Old Northside is located just north of Indianapolis downtown. Neighborhood boundaries are 16th Street on the North; Pennsylvania Street on the West; Interstate I-65 on the South; and Bellefontaine Street on the East. 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 per

iod 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.

Support our neighbors! Kennedy King Park hosts its 58th Annual Commemorative Ceremony Saturday, April 4. This year is very special, with the reopening of the park in large part due to a $6 million investment by Indy Parks and sponsorship by The Indianapolis Foundation. This investment added outdoor exhibits and other enhancements.

FREE and open to the public activities will be happening all day. Refer to link below for the event's schedule. See you there!

Explore the indoor exhibits that trace not only the events of April 4 but also the broader story of Indianapolis during the civil rights era. These galleries highlight powerful local narratives and illuminate the impact of that moment in history on the city’s African American community.

An ONS neighbor had their car stolen from their garage early this morning. They went through several yards through the alley, checking gates, etc. We saw this on camera footage. Please close and lock gates and doors if possible and look out for each other. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, let neighbors know. Thank you.
