Oliver Johnson's Woods Historic District
Oliver Johnson's Woods Historic District, Historic district in northern Indianapolis, United States.
The district contains ninety-two historic buildings across forty acres of land, featuring early twentieth-century residential architecture along tree-lined streets.
Oliver Johnson purchased the farmland in 1846, and his family later subdivided the property into residential lots during Indianapolis's northern expansion in 1905.
German Jewish families and other European immigrants established residences in the neighborhood, creating a mixed community of successful business owners.
The district connects to downtown Indianapolis through College Avenue, which formerly accommodated an interurban railway line to Broad Ripple.
The Johnson-Denny House, constructed in 1862, maintains its original structure despite relocation from Central Avenue to Park Avenue in 1919.
