Meridian Whispers: Meridian Street Mansions of Indianapolis

Come take an armchair-tour of the oldest and most beautifully rendered homes along the blocks comprising the North Meridian Street Historic District in Indianapolis. There are hundreds of stories tied to this stretch of Meridian involving triumph, tragedy, innovation, people and things that literally changed our world. Curl up with stories about the families who made their homes along this admired corridor. Relax and be surprised, enlightened, or reminded of days-gone-by as the author takes you for an intimate tour of the district from 40th Street to the Indiana Central Canal. Along the way, learn about the homes that are gone, the ones narrowly saved, and what it means to live in a home where, as one long time resident explained,

"It is a civic duty to decorate the house and lawn for Christmas."
