HISTORIC EVANSVILLE a Self-Guided Tour of Downtown Evansville, Indiana Buildings Numbered 58 and 59 Have Been Razed Since the First Publication of This Guide HISTORIC EVANSVILLE A Self-guided Tour of Downtown Evansville, Indiana Buildings numbered 58 and 59 have been razed since the first publication of this guide. Welcome to Evansville! It is with pleasure that I welcome you to historic Evansville, Indiana. This guidebook will provide information on some of the prime examples of historic architecture in Downtown Evansville. The Riverside Drive Esplanade and downtown's Main Street have recently undergone significant physical improvements in an attempt to revive the city's rich heritage as a "Rivercity." Period street lighting and benches, brick paving, renewed landscaping and diesel trolleys, (reminiscent of those used in the 1890's), have been installed to visually reinforce a turn-of-the century theme by enhancing the historic character of downtown architecture. We invite both our citizens and visitors to utilize this pamphlet as a guide to explore Evansville's irreplaceable historic resources in the downtown area. 4^c U&*&* Frank F. McDonald II Cover photo from Artwork of Evansville, Indiana 1901. A birdseye Mayor view from the Old Courthouse looking toward the Ohio River. Introduction Center city and neighborhood revitalization is the key to the future of our older cities and towns. What is happening today in Evansville is not unique. 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 downtown Evansville. Trolley Rides The Metropolitan Evansville Transit System (METS) operates two reproduction Trolleys in the Downtown area. Each travels down the Main Street Walkway (otherwise closed to vehicular traffic), with one taking a northerly circuit and the other a southerly circuit of the Downtown. By taking a ride on both of the Trolley routes you can view approximately 45 of the 65 historic sites in this guidebook. You can park your car and catch the Trolleys in the parking lot behind the Civic Center Complex or at designated Trolley Stops on the Main Street Walkway. History Evansville is a river city. Its plan and architecture reflect the role played by commerce and industry brought first by the Ohio River and later cemented by Midwestern railroads. 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 Willard Library river, contained the seat of county government, a state bank, (NR) residences, and several large merchant houses by mid-century. An First Avenue and the Lloyd Expressway independent town—Lamasco—was annexed in 1857.

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.

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.
