One of the first projects, Lockefield Gardens, was designed to maintain the spirit and vitality of its constituent “When Lockefield was built, African American community while offering a modern, modestly priced place to live. it became a source of pride Completed in1936, it became a national model for high design standards, superior construction quality, and innovative landscaping techniques. The federal government and of hope for the local transferred the property to the City of Indianapolis in 1964 with a deed stipulation that it community...” would be used for public housing until 2004 or would revert to the federal government. —NaTIONAL REGISTER THE PROJECT NOMINATION In the 1970s, the City proposed demolishing the housing project using federal funds to 1983 expand campus housing for Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI). The City claimed Lockefield Gardens had declined in quality, and other housing options for low-income residents existed. As a result, the apartments officially closed in 1976. However, the City could not proceed unless the reversionary clause was waived and the use of federal funds was approved for demolition. THE 106 PROCESS The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the federal agency authorized to approve the waiver and use of federal funds, was responsible for conducting the Section 106 process under the National Historic Preservation Act. Section 106 requires that federal agencies identify historic properties and assess the effects of the projects they carry out, fund, or permit on those properties.

Roosevelt’s New Deal era. The first housing project in Indianapolis, it was one of about fifty federal apartment complexes developed in twenty states to address slum clearance and the need for low-rent housing during the time period. In addition to clearing an area of substandard housing and providing new, low-income rentals, the project provided nearly 9,000 part-time jobs for building trade workers. Citing a concern that the federal government would be in competition with private enterprise, Indiana congressmen did not support the construction of the housing project. Designed by the architectural firm of Russ and Harrison, Lockefield Garden Apartments was located on twenty-two acres bound by Indiana Avenue on the north, Blake Street on the east, North Street on the south, and Locke Street on the north.

  • Starke County, Indiana ~Historical Timeline~
    Starke County, Indiana ~Historical Timeline~ Compiled by Marvin Allen, Starke County Historian Before the first explorers and settlers arrived, our area was home to several distinct mound building cultures. The Hopewell from 200 BC to 400 AD The Mississippian from 1000 AD to 1400 AD Although little evidence remains today, the first settlers to arrive found a number of mysterious mounds. An 1876 map shows several mounds in Washington Twp between Eagle Creek and the Yellow River. The same map shows several mounds in Knox; one at the corner of Delaware & Main Streets, one at the corner of John & Pearl Streets and another at the north end of Shield Street. Several mounds were excavated at Round Lake in the 1930’s. 1534 From 1534 to 1679, our area was part of a larger area claimed by the French known as New France. During this period, our area was home to the Miami Tribe, who some believe to be descendents of the Mississippian Mound Builders It would be another 145 years before a white man visited what was to become Starke County. 1679 La Salle, a French explorer, was the first white man to visit our area. That was in 1679 and 327 years ago His company of thirty men traveled down the Kankakee River stopping at a place about a mile south of US 30 in Davis Twp. 1763 After the French and Indian War ended in 1783, all land east of the Mississippi River came under English control. The proclamation of 1763 forbid any settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains.
