Brendonwood Historic District, Historic residential district in Indianapolis, United States.
Brendonwood Historic District is a residential neighborhood on the eastern side of Millersville with about 85 protected buildings representing different architectural traditions. The district includes a golf course and is bounded on the west by Fall Creek.
The neighborhood was created between 1917 and 1954 following landscape architect George E. Kessler's designs for a residential vision developed by Charles S. Lewis. The planning established this as a self-managed community that maintained its own standards over time.
The neighborhood displays Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and American Craftsman homes that together create a distinctive residential character. Walking through the streets, you notice how these architectural styles give the area a unified and carefully maintained appearance.
The neighborhood is managed by an active Homeowners Association that maintains building standards and protects the area's appearance. It is best explored on foot to appreciate the architectural details of the homes and the green character of the streets.
Each property plot in this neighborhood was given a distinctive name instead of a street number, such as Two Knolls, Farlook, or Springhead. This naming approach emphasizes the individual character of the community and sets it apart from standard numbered street patterns.
