Woodruff Place

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. Woodruff Place was included in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

There is much that needs to be done each and every year to maintain and improve our very special neighborhood. The Woodruff Place Civic League is responsible for the organization and operation of the neighborhood. The Civic League created the Woodruff Place Historic Preservation Committee, a qualified not-for-profit group under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This group addresses historic concerns and focuses on fundraising for preservation projects, including:

• • Street Lighting, repair, maintenance, and utilities
  • Town Hall, repair, maintenance, and utilities
  • Fountains, repair, maintenance, and utilities
  • 10th Street Fence, rebuilding and maintenance
  • Maintenance and repair of esplanades, statuary and plantings
  • Maintenance and replacement of neighborhood trees
  • Historic markers and signs

Financial support comes from our fundraising activities (such as the annual Flea Market), monetary grants, and resident contributions. Every contribution is important, and the success of Woodruff Place is the result of dedicated neighbors who have invested in the belief that this unique place can continue to be a vibrant historic urban neighborhood.
