| Summary of History and Significance
Cottage Home is located on the near-northeast side of Indianapolis in Center Township. It is primarily a residential neighborhood with some light-industrial, retail, and special uses.
Cottage Home is both historically and architecturally significant to Indianapolis and Marion County. The area contains an excellent collection of vernacular dwellings reflective of late-nineteenth century workers' housing. Additionally, a unique collection of residential structures designed by the local architectural firm of Vonnegut and Bohn survive.
A portion of the neighborhood was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. In 1995, an expanded district was listed in the State Register of Historic Places. Additionally, the IHPC has already designated the Ruskaup-Ratcliffe House & Store at 711 and 715 North Dorman Street as an individual site. |
