Homecroft Historic District
- Also Known As: 097-392-88000
- Vicinity: Roughly bounded by Madison Ave, Southview Dr, Orinoco Ave, and Banta Rd
The increasing accessibility of the automobile and public transportation, as well as idealization of life in the countryside away from the problems of the city, spurred intense suburbanization in the United States in the period after World War I. Homecroft Historic District reflects the importance of interurban and trolley lines in the early suburban development of Indianapolis. The district has survived later suburbanization, retaining its character as a small satellite town. - NPS
