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.
Brendonwood Common is a self-regulated residential zone: Charles S. Lewis laid out 110 plots on 350 acres, and the community long set its own standards. The Common House (1924) serves as the shared gathering building, and a golf course lies within the grounds. Houses are known by names, not street numbers, from Wetermain (1921) and Glen Gate (1922–1923) to Larkwing and Whispering Trees (1952–1953).
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.
The named properties in the sources are houses and structures, not numbered plots: the Common House (1924), Glen Gate (1922–1923), Long Ridge (1923–1924), Great Maple (1948) and Whispering Trees (1952–1953). Charles S. Lewis laid out 110 plots on 350 acres, and George E. Kessler drew the plan.
