Downtown Indiana Historic District

Downtown Indiana Historic District is a neighborhood made up of brick-faced buildings with decorative rooflines and detailed windows that reflect different construction periods. The structures stand close together between Water Street, 7th Street, 6th Street, and Wayne Avenue, forming a connected cluster of commercial and public buildings.

Most buildings were constructed in the late 1800s and early 1900s when the town expanded as a commercial hub and business owners built new stores and offices. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, formally recognizing the value of its architecture and historical role.

The buildings show how this place once served as a busy trading hub where everyday commerce shaped daily life for local residents. Walking through, you can still see traces of old shops and workspaces in the storefronts and structure of the blocks.

The best way to experience it is on foot, which lets you see decorative details and building features up close from the sidewalks. The district has clear boundaries on four sides, making it simple to follow a route without getting lost.

A municipal building from 1912 stands among the many commercial structures and marks when the town had grown large enough to need a new public building. This structure is often overlooked even though it represents a key moment in the town's expansion.
