Neighborhood Walk: Woodruff Place

  • 735 Woodruff Place East Drive Indianapolis, IN, 46201 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Our walks will continue in August with a visit to Woodruff Place -- a neighborhood on the East side of town, between East 10th Street, East Michigan Street, east of the Cottage Home neighborhood by about a half a mile.

"This gracious historic community, located just one mile east of downtown Indianapolis, is recognized as Indianapolis’s first planned residential suburb. In a beautiful park-like setting, you will find fine examples of lovely Victorian era homes, esplanades with fountains and statuary, and an ambiance that is unlike any other. Though not exactly a convenient location in 1872, (nearly an hour by wagon from the center of town), local advertisements were successful in attracting curious visitors eager to see what could possibly be so special about this place where the cost of a 40 x 80 foot lot exceeded a year’s wage." Woodruff Place remained an independent town until the costs of maintenance and the resolution of a lawsuit forced integration into the city of Indianapolis in 1962. Woodruff Place was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. 

Our host will be Tom Abeel, deeply involved with the boards of the community and current President of Historic Urban Neighborhoods of Indianapolis.

We will meet Tom at the Woodruff Town Hall, 735 Woodruff Place, East Drive at 7PM. As days will be getting shorter, again, members are welcomed to come earlier for shooting opportunities.

If you have any questions about this event, please contact Jay van Santen at 317-513-2825

Bill, I just got a call from Bob at the Raptor Center and we have to go to the Raptor Center for our outing.

They will still stage them at their facility and we will actually get to see more raptors than what it would’ve been at the park.

The address is 17688 Lima Rd. Huntertown,In.

Bob’s number is 260 403 2447

Post my number as well; 281 726 4684.

Tripods are allowed.

You might also consider hand held off camera flash to try to "stop" the moving trains. another idea would be to blur a moving train past the stationary scenery and buildings.

The building is very old as are other buildings and homes in the town. There is also found a front yard a bit west of the train layout that has many interesting items in the front yard. there is an operating train track running thru town with some signal boxes, etc.

if you get hungry, the ChooChoo cafe is open for breakfast or lunch or baked goods. this is located just a few buildings west of Mr Muffins train layout building.

Hope to see you all there

Jim Keller and Scott Kinzie, field trip coordinators.
