Ransom Place Historic District
Ransom Place Historic District, Historic district in Indianapolis, United States.
The Ransom Place Historic District spans six blocks of residential buildings constructed between 1880 and 1930, featuring Queen Anne and Colonial Revival architectural styles.
The neighborhood was established in 1865 as one of the first African American communities in Indianapolis and received National Register of Historic Places status in 1992.
Freeman B. Ransom, an attorney and civil rights leader, shaped the district through his work with Madame C.J. Walker's company and advocacy for African American representation.
The Ransom Place Neighborhood Association organizes community events, manages a garden, and provides funding support for property improvements within the district.
Located one block from Indiana Avenue, this district contains the most complete collection of original structures from Indianapolis's early African American residential area.
