on Dec 9th, 2009Featured Indianapolis Community: Woodruff Place
Just one mile east of downtown is one of Indianapolis’ oldest and most beautiful suburbs, Woodruff Place. Developed in the 1870s by James Orton Woodruff, the community has been listed on The National Register of Historic Places since July 31, 1972. Below is what is written on the plaque outside of Woodruff Place:
Conceived by James Orton Woodruff, prominent citizen and industrialist, platted in 1872, as a residence park, this 77 acre landscaped enclave long existed as an incorporated town completely surrounded by the larger city. The district was finally annexed by the city of Indianapolis in 1962. Two hundred and forty dwellings of predominantly neo-Jacobean and Eastlake styles are aligned on three prominent esplanade drives adorned with handsome urns, fountains and statuary. The area was officially listed on The National Register of Historic Places July 31, 1972. Presented in the Bicentennial year of 1976 by Betsy Toy Hall in memory of her mother, Rose M. Toy and father, John H. Toy devoted residents of Woodruff Place for over 50 years.
