Brendonwood Historic District, 097-295-02000, roughly bounded by Fall Creek, 56 th Street, and Brendon Forest Drive, Indianapolis, Marion County

Brendonwood was identified in the 1994 Pike and Lawrence Townships Interim Report, Marion County. The district has statewide significance as a remarkably intact example of George Edward Kessler’sresidential work. The application provides ample evidence of the original and current land uses, circulation patterns, and even some plantings (Mall, the hedges) to cite landscape architecture as an area of significance. Architecturally, the area includes a diverse gathering of popular early to mid-twentieth century housing types and styles, many designs executed by well-known Indianapolis architects. Staff recommends approval for the State and National Registers, under Criteria A and C.
