Lockerbie Square Victorian Masterpiece

Lockerbie Square

 

In a recent post, I told about my trip to Lockerbie Square. This is an area of Indianapolis which has undergone revitalization. Most of the original homes have been refurbished, restored and updated, while retaining the original historic quality of the neighborhood. These older homes and neighborhoods have become popular for home buyers in Indianapolis.

Lockerbie Square is the oldest surviving neighborhood in Indianapolis and one of the nation's pre-eminent examples of Victorian restoration.

I met one of the homeowners while she was out trimming her gardens. I was amazed by the pristine condition of her home, which you could tell has been lovingly cared for. She showed me around her gardens; we talked about some of the history and changes she has observed in the 17 years she has lived in Lockerbie Square. I like knowing the scoop, so told her I would check back for an update.

 

 

Here's a look at her home:

Downtown Indianapolis Neighborhoods ~ Lockerbie Square

 Lockerbie Square in Downtown Indianapolis

Tonight I am meeting some friends for dinner. I didn't know where the restaurant was, since I had not been there before. To my absolute delight, it was in the Lockerbie Square area of downtown. You see, I know where Lockerbie Square is, but give me an address where I have never been and I can not tell you for certain exactly what is on the corner. It is a disconnect in the wiring of my brain!

While waiting for eveyone to arrive for dinner, I couldn't resist the temptation to walk down the street and take some pictures. I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a great photographer. I just like to take pictures and sometimes I surprise myself. So, I persist......

Walking down a street of remodeled homes from the 1800 and 1900's for me, is like letting a child loose in a candy store. These homes are absolutely amazing. I could walk through these neighborhoods for hours and never tire of the beauty and architecture.

The revitalized Historic Districts in Indianapolis has brought renewed life to the streets and homes here. Many of the people here are new, some have lived here a very long time and have seen the changes first hand.

I met Carol, one of the residents there, while walking. She has lived in Lockerbie Square for 17 years. She allowed me to take some pictures of her gardens and the outside of her home. I have posted the tour separately.

Look at some of the beautiful homes here:

Downtown Dining in Indianapolis ~ Amici's Italian Restaurant

Amicis Italian Restaurant

Indianapolis Dining at Amici's

Tonight we had our monthly group together for dinner. This month's restaurant choice was Amici's, which is located East of Downtown on New York in the Lockerbie Square District.

The building, which was built in 1930, is rather unassuming, except for the color. The interior an electic mix of color, strings of lights and artwork. 

The food was excellent; we ordered an assortment from the menu. Lasagna with Italian Sausage, Chicken Gorgonzola, Seafood Penne and Shrimp Diablo were among the favorites. Each meal was served with salad and bread. The salad was a bit heavy on the Balsamic vinegar for me.

Desert was Tiramusu for me, while others raved about the Ice Cream. We had a great time....the company was superb! Thanks to all!
