HISTORIC EVANSVILLE a Self-Guided Tour of Downtown Evansville, Indiana Welcome to Evansville! HISTORIC EVANSVILLE A Self-guided Tour of Downtown Evansville, Indiana Welcome to Evansville! It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to historic Evansville, Indiana. As a look at this guidebook or a tour of Downtown will prove, Evansville is blessed with rich reminders of our past. Perhaps more exciting is the role that the preservation of that past is playing in the Evansville of today and of the future. Historic preservation has come to be recognized as an important part of Evansville's way of doing things, and we invite visitors to share in our achievements and to enjoy our historic sites. We like company. Let us know if we can do anything to make your stay in Evansville a pleasant one. Sincerely, Mayor Michael D. Vandeveer Cover photo from Artwork of Evansville, Indiana 1901.

Sterling Brewery 1301 Pennsylvania Avenue At the very corner of Pennsylvania and Fulton Avenue stands a brick, round-arched portion of the brewery com­ plex dating back to the turn of the century. The Fulton Avenue Brewery was established in 1880 at this location, and beer has been produced here (with a noticeable lapse during Prohibition) ever since. This is Evansville's last brew­ ery—once the city could boast twenty. KENTUCKY Introduction Center city and neighborhood revitalization is a key to the future of our older cities and towns. What is happening today in Evansville is not unique anymore: reinvestment in once-blighted neighborhoods and the recycling of historic commercial buildings is a world-wide phenomenon. This walking/driving tour guide is an introduction to some of the more interesting examples of historic preservation in down­ town Evansville. History Evansville was a river city. Its plan and architecture reflected the role played by the commerce and industry brought first by the Ohio River and later cemented by Midwestern rail­ roads. A small, languid village when incorporated in 1819, Evansville grew slowly, relying on the completion of rail connections in 1860 for its sustained growth. The original town, laid out on a grid angled to meet the widely bending river, contained the seat of county government, a state bank, residences, and several large merchant houses by mid-century. An independent town — Lamasco — was an­ nexed in 1857. By the turn of the century, Evansville was the state's principal commercial city and second in popula­ Louisville & Nashville Railroad Passenger Depot tion. 300 Fulton Avenue (NR) Plans by the City to purchase and adapt this 1902 passenger Architecture — like history itself—was not just a record of terminal have been dropped, leaving this important land­ wealth and power, but rather the cumulative expression of mark in jeopardy.

Old Vanderburgh County Courthouse 201 NW Fourth Street (NR) The county's third courthouse has dominated Evansville's cityscape since its completion in 1890. Louisville's Henry Wolters (a German native) designed this Beaux Arts monu­ ment, and the Conrad Baker Foundation (named for the first Indiana governor from Evansville) has managed it since the county government's departure in 1969. Preservation of this landmark has depended upon adapting the building to commercial and office use—and upon the continued sup­ port of generous friends. Rose and Albion Terraces NW Seventh and Court Streets A movement to reform crowded living conditions for the working class swept the country just after the turn of the century. One of the leading national figures in tenement reform efforts was Albion Fellows Bacon of Evansville. These terraced blocks of flats were designed by Shopbell & Company in 1911 and captured that reform-minded spirit. Henry Richardt House 213 NW Fifth Street This 1861 double house was built by a member of the city's large (50% in 1900) German population. Richardt was a blacksmith, and his plain brick house is one of the few residences left downtown today. Old U.S. Post Office, Courthouse, and Customhouse 200 NW Second Street (NR) The subject of a $1.3 million City-managed preservation and adaptive reuse project, this 1874-79 federal govern­ ment building was designed by Ruskin disciple William Appleton Potter of New York.

Top Tier Gasoline Because they are worth it. Letter from President & CEO The great Michelangelo once said, “The problem human beings face is not that we aim too high and fail, but that we aim too low and succeed.” Fortunately, the leaders and officials of Southwest Indiana have aimed high in the goals for bettering our community, and in doing so are well on the way to succeeding. This year’s edition of Keep It Local showcases the many ways that our region continues growing through infrastructure upgrades, quality-of-life improvements and an increasing number of entertainment options. By aiming high, local elected officials and business leaders were able to secure millions in funds through the Regional Cities Initiative, and four years in, many projects meant to attract and retain talent to our region are coming to fruition, if not well on their way. Success, indeed. In the pages ahead, we take a look at several projects that are cementing Evansville as a top attraction in the Midwest: the continued progress of The Post House, a unique mixed-use development that will feature smart-technology labs, retail businesses, apartment living and an open outdoor community space; the upcoming groundbreaking for the Deaconess Aquatic Center, which will be the largest indoor swimming facility in the region; an update on the I-69 bridge that will connect Indiana and Kentucky and is expected to bring a huge economic impact; and several new restaurants and bars with a wide diversity of food and drink options, led by Mo’s House and Myriad Brewery.

  • 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan and Annual
    Demo The City of Evansville is requesting to align the Art's District and Jacobsville District NRSAs timelines with the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Executive Summary ES-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction The City of Evansville, Indiana is pleased to submit to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) its 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. Project goals outlined in the plan were determined through citizens' participation at three public meetings where participants discussed community development and housing needs, including the completion of a survey. Due to COVID-19 and the suspension of public contact the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan was displayed on the City of Evansville website. The Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI) prepared by Prosperity Indiana provided a summary of the existing fair housing condition in Evansville, with five-year remediation goals. A marketing plan of the public service area, Evansville, prepared by Bowens National Research provided housing data on the existing PSA and five submarkets; Central Area, Near East, East, North, and West, including three submarkets of the Central Area; Arts District, Downtown District, and Jacobsville District. Through the use of these tools Evansville will be able to carry out reasonable community and housing goals with positive outcomes. Evansville Indiana, established in 1812, today is the third-largest city in the state of Indiana with an estimated population of 117,429. Situated along the scenic Ohio River, Evansville is centrally located providing highway access to and from major cities; Indianapolis, Indiana is 170 miles north via Interstate 69, Louisville, Kentucky is 120 miles east via Interstate 64, St.
