Central Court Historic District

The Central Court Historic District contains seventy-five buildings arranged in a U-shape around Central Court and along Thirty-sixth Street and Central Avenue.

Local developers Oscar A. Jose and Peter J. Balz established Central Court in 1916, creating forty-seven houses that showcase Prairie School and Colonial Revival architecture.

The district presents early twentieth-century residential architecture through multiple building designs, reflecting the urban development patterns of Indianapolis during that period.

The district spans 7.6 acres near the intersection of 36th Street and Central Avenue, featuring structures that face three different directions within the neighborhood layout.

Seven houses face Central Avenue, ten properties align with Thirty-sixth Street, and thirty residences look inward toward Central Court itself.
