The Shelton, Historic apartment building in Indianapolis, United States
The Shelton is a five-story brick apartment building featuring a central projecting bay and limestone trim details at 825 North Delaware Street. The buff-colored brickwork is organized into five distinct sections that give the structure a balanced and rhythmic appearance.
Foster Engineering Co. built this apartment complex in 1925 to serve the growing middle class of the city. The building earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as an example of residential development from that era.
This building shows how affluent residents chose to live in downtown Indianapolis and reflects the residential standards of the era. The refined brickwork and limestone accents reveal what people valued in their homes during this period.
The building sits near downtown Indianapolis and is easily accessible on foot. The exterior and entrance areas are visible from the street, allowing visitors to observe the architectural details without needing access to the interior.
This building is part of a special collection of residential structures that document downtown living in the early 20th century. Being part of this thematic group helps visitors understand the broader story of urban residential development in the city.
