Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State Parkway, the district encompasses roughly three blocks roughly bounded by Lincoln Drive on the west, a small section of McCulloch Pike and properties fronting Lewis and Clark Parkway on the north, the immediately adjacent Beechwood Manor Subdivision on the east, and a Vectren Energy complex on the south. Platted in 1928 as an interurban subdivision, construction in the district occurred in stages during the 1930s and early 1940s due to the Great Depression and World War Two. The remainder of most construction occurred between 1945 and 1960. Designed to attract the middle and upper middle class, the homes reflect high style examples of the Tudor and Colonial Revival styles, and good examples of Bungalow, American Small House and Ranch types. Notable examples of some of the earliest homes in the district include two bungalows, the Gibson House at 2710 Hollywood Boulevard (1929) and the King House at 2704 Hollywood Boulevard (1929), and three Tudor Revival styles homes, the Peck House at 214 Lynnwood Drive (1932), the Hobart-Galligan House at 207 Maplewood Drive (c.1935), and the Hurst House at 200 Maplewood Drive (c.1939). Later notable examples of the American Small House and Ranch types include the Davis House at 215 Rosewood Drive (c.1948), the Rosemary Prentice House at 212 Lynnwood Drive (1946), the Kreckel House at 2701 Wildwood Drive (1956), and the house at 214 Rosewood Drive (c.1956). The district was annexed by the town of Clarksville in 1989.
______Narrative Description
Lincoln Heights Historic District is immediately south of the Lewis and Clark Parkway, a four-lane highway connecting the towns of Clarksville and New Albany.1 The district is bounded by Lincoln Drive on the west which provides the only access to the district by way of Rosewood, Maplewood and Lynnwood Drives. The district was platted on the former farm of John McCullough, known as Montrose (Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures, 1995). The 1870 farmhouse is immediately north of the properties along Rosewood Drive. Beechwood Manor, a later 20th century subdivision, is immediately to the east and immediately to the south is a former stone quarry, now the site of a Vectren Energy complex. Heavy commercial development is to the east along Lewis and Clark Parkway, industrial development is not far to the west of the district, and commercial and residential areas are both north of the parkway and south of the district. A grassy area dotted with trees and plantings west of Lincoln Drive outside the district boundary was the location of the interurban line. Despite close proximity of the later subdivision to the east, the streets do not connect. Thus, the east/west streets of Rosewood, Maplewood, and Lynnwood Drives dead-end at the east end. North/south Wildwood Drive intersects only with Rosewood and Lynnwood Drives.
1 Historically, the road was the New Albany-Charlestown Turnpike and was later improved to become State Highway 131. John McCulloch was president of the turnpike. He is attributed with building an extension known as McCulloch Pike of which a small section remains along the northwest boundary of the district.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State North/south Hollywood Drive dead-ends on the south. To discourage thru traffic, a brick planter was installed by the town, at the request of neighborhood residents, at the north end of the street in 1993. The original narrow, pebble concrete streets remain intact with the occasional repair of new concrete, generally due to utility work. There are no sidewalks nor streetlights within the district. East of Lincoln Drive, many of the yards have low concrete cones at the street edge of varying vintage to discourage parking or driving on the yards. The district has large lots, most with mature trees of various species and many with landscaped yards. Houses along the north/south streets tend to be more closely constructed. This is particularly found along Lincoln Drive and the west side of Hollywood Boulevard. The south side of east/west Lynnwood Drive also has more closely spaced homes. However, many homes were built on double or triple lots providing larger yards and open space between the houses, and all the houses are set back considerably from the street. Likewise, houses constructed on corner lots were often designed to command the frontage of both streets. By 1932, the interurban was replaced with buses. The rise of the automobile also prompted a large majority of homes to be constructed with garages, either a basement level garage, or an attached or detached garage. Later homes often appear with two-car garages and over the years many homeowners have constructed new detached garages when the basement garages proved too small for the increasingly larger automobiles. The oldest homes in the district were constructed in 1929—the Keller House at 200 Rosewood, the Gibson House at 2710 Hollywood Boulevard, the King House at 2704 Hollywood Boulevard, and the Embrey House at 2801 Lincoln Drive. Approximately forty-four more homes were constructed between 1930 and 1942 leading up to World War II. Forty-seven additional homes were constructed in the years following the war from 1945 through 1960. Alterations tend to be minimal with window and siding replacement the most prevalent, or the construction of newer garages. Most changes including new construction have been undertaken with a high degree of respect for the original integrity of the architecture and district. Thus a non-contributing rating affects only those homes with severely altered rooflines, those with highly altered exterior finishes, or those with alterations which have completely eliminated their historical integrity. Only a handful of homes date to a later construction (which includes reconfiguration) outside the period of significance and these homes are also rated non- contributing. The Lincoln Heights Historic District contains 152 resources, all but one of which are buildings. There are 115 contributing buildings and 36 non-contributing buildings. The concrete streets collectively constitute one contributing structure. Descriptions for all buildings follow. A resource inventory concludes Section 7. A more detailed ownership history for each house is within the Developmental History/Additional Historical Context section following Section 8.

Period of Significance (justification)
The period of significance begins with 1929, the first year of construction and residency in the district. Lincoln Heights Historic District and its earliest residents first appear in the 1930 census under Lincoln Heights Subdivision. The neighborhood first appears as Lincoln Heights Subdivision in the 1931-1932 city directory. However, the 1929-1930 city directory does not list any of the streets within the historic district other than Lincoln Drive, which was already a major artery through Clarksville. The earliest year of home construction and residency is further corroborated by first person accounts by some of the earliest residents. The period of significance concludes with 1960, the year the last home was constructed within the primary years of development. Only five homes have been added to the district since 1960.

Statement of Significance Summary Paragraph (Provide a summary paragraph that includes level of significance, applicable criteria, justification for the period of significance, and any applicable criteria considerations.)
The Lincoln Heights Historic District in Clarksville, Clark County, Indiana, is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as locally significant under Criteria A, B and C. Under Criterion A, the district also falls under the nationwide historic context outlined in the multiple property listing, Historic Residential Suburbs in the United States, 1830-1960. Lincoln Heights Historic District is an early 20th century subdivision with a collection of early-to mid 20th century homes marketed to the middle and upper middle-class. The district meets Criterion A under Community Planning and Development as a local representation of residential suburban development spreading into rural areas in response to the decentralization of cities. Despite being one of the oldest towns in the Northwest Territory, Clarksville did not experience any real growth until the 1880s when the legal status of the town charter was resolved, and again in the early 1900s when the interurban lines stretched beyond the Jeffersonville and New Albany boundaries. By that point with the original town site all but abandoned, the rural areas outside the Clarksville town limits were viewed as excellent prospects for land speculation by local real estate companies. Lincoln Heights is a significant example of how these local historical trends shaped neighborhoods in Clarksville. The district meets Criterion B under Education for its

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State association with Floyd I. McMurray, the founder and first chancellor of Indiana University Southeast. McMurray founded the school in 1941 and served as director until 1956. The McMurray family moved into their Lincoln Heights home in 1941 and remained in the district for over thirty years after McMurray’s retirement. The district meets Criterion C under Architecture for its high style residential architecture ranging from the 1930s through the 1950s, paired with their environment of narrow dead-end streets, spacious yards, and a partially secluded environment. The variety of Bungalow, American Small House, and Ranch forms with prevailing styles including Colonial and Tudor Revival, presents a cross-section of residential middle and upper middle-class Clark County citizens of the time. Despite being one of five subdivisions platted in Clarksville during the 1920s, it is the most architecturally intact of its era. While retaining a high degree of architectural integrity, Lincoln Heights has also maintained elements of a cohesive neighborhood not found elsewhere in Clarksville.

National Development Trends Electric streetcars, or interurbans, were first introduced in Richmond, Virginia, in 1887.4 Their popularity quickly spread throughout the country in larger cities, allowing metropolitan areas to grow beyond their central areas. The streetcar lines formed continuous corridors and developers platted rectilinear suburbs within close walking distance. With streetcar stops at numerous intervals along the lines, commercial businesses were established to serve the neighborhoods.5 Streetcar use continued to grow through the early 1920s but then began a decline as automobile use increased.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State Introduction of the Model-T Ford in 1908 launched the United States into the automobile age. Nearly four and a half million autos were sold by the time the Great Depression hit in 1929.6 Undaunted by the economic setback the road building that had started in the early 1920s continued into the 1930s. New residential developments also followed suit with residential suburbs planned along major roads and highways further and further from central business districts. Linking residential areas to train routes was no longer as important as more and more residents purchased automobiles. Streetcar, or interurban, lines were also being replaced with buses which could have more flexible routes. A shift was also occurring in how new suburban areas were developed and marketed, with developers not simply improving the land but also building some homes on speculation. This helped ensure the viability and livability of the neighborhood to prospective new homeowners. With restructuring of the home financing industry in the 1930s through the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and the National Housing Act, both developers and private individuals could secure FHA-approved loans. These new incentives and other assistance enacted by the federal government helped increase home construction and ownership for the middle class even during the Depression years. With the close of World War II, housing needs increased as did automobile ownership, and early suburban developments experienced rapid growth. Additionally, incentives like the Federal Defense Housing and Home Loan program helped ensure more home ownership than ever before.
Clarksville Development The Town of Clarksville was founded in 1783 and has the distinction of being the oldest American town in the Northwest Territory. However, despite its early founding Clarksville never experienced any real growth until after the Civil War.7 The town charter, created in Virginia, did not require the trustees to live there so oversight of the town and its well-being was not a priority. Infrastructure and services were not properly established, and the typical commercial downtown never developed. Selection of Jeffersonville as the county seat in 1801 further exacerbated Clarksville’s growth problems. Visitors repeatedly reported nothing more than a small decaying collection of houses well into the 1840s. Even after completion of the new state prison in Clarksville in 1847 and organization of the Ohio Falls Car & Locomotive Company in 1864, the town’s status did not really improve due to the constraints brought about by the charter.8 Resolution of Clarksville’s legal status in 1880 prompted significant growth but by then the original town location had been abandoned in favor of newer subdivisions elsewhere.9

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State Growth of Jeffersonville to the east since its founding and growth of New Albany to the west since its founding in 1813, left Clarksville and its rural areas ripe for residential development. Nearly a dozen subdivisions were platted in the town between 1882 and 1897, the most significant of which was Howard Park. However, into the early 1900s development in Clarksville remained scattered due in large part because the westbound interurban lines stopped at the Jeffersonville-Clarksville boundary.10 Once the interurban was extended, Clarksville experienced a surge in growth. Two subdivisions included Midway, platted in 1907 on the Jeffersonville-New Albany interurban line at McCulloch Boulevard (Clark Boulevard) and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and Lake View Subdivision platted further north along the line in 1910 at McCullough Pike and Lincoln Drive.11 Another surge in growth occurred during the 1920s when local real estate companies began to speculate on land outside the town limits but within reach of the interurban lines.12 Between 1923 and 1929, five subdivisions including Lincoln Heights were platted near the Jeffersonville-New Albany Interurban line within the area bounded by present-day Brooks Avenue, Brown’s Station Way, Lewis and Clark Parkway, and Eastern Boulevard.13 In 1923 the Southern Indiana Realty & Building Company platted a small area south of Brown’s Station Way off of Clark Boulevard. The area of primarily modest bungalows was expanded north over time with single story Tudor Revival cottages and American Small Houses, a portion of which was named North Clark Boulevard District during the county historic resource survey conducted in 2011.14 In 1925, Voight Realty Company platted Birdmead north of Eastern Boulevard between Auburn and Kopp Avenues. Apparently, development of the area was considerably delayed as the neighborhood is a primarily intact collection of American Small Houses, a housing form that emerged in the latter years of the Great Depression. Southeast of Lincoln Heights, in 1927, Edward M. McCulloch platted Maple Court south of Eastern Boulevard encompassing Bell Avenue, Maple Court, and Washington Street. The collection of modest bungalows, compact Ranches, and American Small Houses has experienced light industrial and commercial intrusion, particularly along Bell Avenue. South of Maple Court, beginning in May 1928 and continuing through October 1929, the 431 lots of Greenacres was developed by Ellerbe W. Carter and designed by Rogers and Read. Like Birdmead, the homes are primarily a collection of modest American Small Houses, indication that most actual development was

Note: When the area was surveyed, only the 300-400 block of North Clark Boulevard was identified as having a concentration of contributing houses. However, examination of the entire area including the 1923 subdivision as well as the later platted streets reflects a much larger concentration of potentially contributing resources.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State delayed until after the Great Depression. During this same time period Martin J. Insull platted Lincoln Heights and hired Anton Munich, another local real estate developer, to lay out the lots and handle development. With larger lots and homes and higher style architecture, the neighborhood was unlike any of the others of its era. Closure of the reformatory in 1923 coupled with the Great Depression brought little development to these 1920s subdivisions until after the Great Depression and World War II, as evidenced by the architectural types and styles. At the same time, demise of the interurban by the early 1930s meant the subdivisions also developed more as automobile suburbs than as the streetcar suburbs they were intended to be. According to local historian and life-long Clarksville resident, Jane Sarles, the lack of cohesiveness within the town contributed to it being simply a collection of neighborhoods where residents did not identify as residents of the town but instead as residents of their particular neighborhood. She stated this is still the case but that early on Lincoln Heights was isolated like an island, something that contributed to the cohesiveness among residents.
Lincoln Heights Development Lincoln Heights was platted on the former farm of John McCullough by Martin Insull, the brother of electrical utilities magnate, Samuel Insull. Martin oversaw his brother’s business interests in Indiana.15 One of these interests for electrical companies included interurban train lines which operated by electricity. Located just east of the interurban line, Lincoln Heights was intended to be attractive to home buyers interested in using the railway for transportation. The development success of the much smaller Lake View Subdivision undoubtedly prompted platting of the much larger Lincoln Heights. Insull’s diversified company was also involved in construction of the hydroelectric plant on the Ohio River and Martin Insull was in the area overseeing the project. The subdivisions added to the company’s investments.16 Likely in 1928, local real estate developer Anton Munich was selected to lay out the streets and one hundred, forty-four house lots which were fifty feet wide and one hundred fifty to two hundred feet deep.17 Larger than other nearby subdivisions, the spacious lots were intended to attract the middle and upper middle-class. Munich had the streets paved with pebble filled concrete and planted maple trees, and a double tennis court was installed between Maplewood and Lynnwood Drives. The gridiron layout of the streets reflects the era of streetcar suburbs

Note: Samuel Insull came to America from his native London, England, in 1881 to work for Thomas Edison. He became vice president of Edison General Electric Company before starting his own Chicago Electric Company in 1892. By 1907, all power in the city was provided by Insull’s firm. His systems grew rapidly with expansion paid for by the selling of low-priced bonds and stock. The Great Depression brought collapse of his company holdings and he retired penniless to Paris where he died in 1938. Today some credit Insull with establishment of the nation’s current easy, rapid access to electricity. 16 Prentice. 17 Note: Many early residents have recorded that their house was constructed within the year 1929, some moving in as early as March of that year. So, laying out the lots and streets would have been achieved prior to construction.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State when the grid plan of straight streets was seen as the most efficient and inexpensive means of selling the lots.18 But the narrow, tree-lined streets, landscaped yards, and sense of enclosure from the rest of the town suggests Munich may have been influenced by the Garden Suburb movement of the early twentieth century. Four houses were constructed in 1929 followed by fifteen more in 1930. Fifteen additional homes were built during the 1930s. However, the Great Depression halted rapid growth in the neighborhood. In fact, a written account by Kenneth F. Hatton, who purchased a lot in 1937, indicates that Josephine Munich was willing to sell him the lot for half the $1,000 price and that after the Ohio River flood of 1937, all the remaining lots were offered to him for $470 each. The Great Depression and the Insull’s economic woes also affected operation of many interurban lines, an intended draw for new Lincoln Heights residents. By the time residents began moving into the district the interurban was almost a thing of the past, and in fact it was replaced by buses in 1932. In the early years a number of homes were built on speculation, but sale of both the homes and empty lots were delayed by the economic downturn.19 Likewise, some residents who had begun home construction just prior to the outbreak of the World War II then found themselves unable to retain their houses due to personal economic distress brought on by the war, loss of a spouse, or the need to move elsewhere for employment associated with the war effort. Around fifteen more homes were built just prior to World War II but the war halted the bulk of construction until the later 1940s through the 1950s when forty-seven additional homes were constructed. Only five homes have been constructed since 1960, two of which were relocations of older homes onto remaining open lots and another was a reconfiguration of an existing house. Design of the district is simple—straight, narrow, paved streets following the grid plan which is typical of streetcar suburbs—but without the usual sidewalks, streetlights, medians or small parks. The lack of amenities was somewhat unusual for most suburban developments of the era as the development trends were being influenced by the City Beautiful Movement and other associated design concepts. However, Lincoln Heights is an anomaly. Despite being platted as a streetcar subdivision, one in which residents would be walking from their homes to the rail line, the original design lacked sidewalks and streetlights that would accommodate such activities. Likewise, the streets are narrow, more so than other neighborhoods platted in Clarksville during the 1920s, making them less accommodating for automobiles. Although the streets now dead-end, helping to create a neighborhood enclave, this was not necessarily the intent of the developers nor city planners. However, Lincoln Heights presents many characteristics of the early automobile suburbs including the lower densities which

Paul Berry recollected that it was at the location of his current house (2700 Hollywood) before it was constructed, while Kenneth F. Hatton wrote that it was at 2610 Hollywood. It is possible and likely the shack was moved from one lot to the other.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State “afforded more privacy, larger yards, and a park-like setting.”20 Many property owners built on two or more lots which also helped create an early garden-like setting. Empty lots were planted with lawns, plants and trees, and home construction was minimized resulting in a more rural atmosphere of larger estates. The strong and lasting ties to the district of many homeowners and their desire to retain the quiet enclave has proved successful in retaining the dead-end streets and the overall historic integrity of the district’s buildings, roads and landscapes through time.
Local Economic and Social Impacts Many district residents, some of whom lived in Lincoln Heights for many years, played significant roles in the local and regional economies. Even during the years of the Great Depression and World War II, residents were successfully overseeing or employed in local endeavors that had lasting economic and social impacts on the region as a whole. And with the social and economic changes ushered in during the post-war years of the 1950s, several employed Lincoln Heights residents included single, divorced or widowed women. Within the period of significance, the district had a pharmacist, jeweler, and banker, an accountant, an advertising graphic artist, two ministers, two real estate agents, four dentists, six lawyers, and seven physicians. Additionally, residents were employed in printing and press operation, the automobile industry, at a local candy company, and as an estimator for the lumber milling industry. Seven residents were involved in education including one who was appointed Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction while living in the district and another former superintendent who was the founder and first chancellor of Indiana University Southeast while residing in the district. Three residents held various positions with the Courier-Journal in Louisville, four were employed with the locally owned Williams Bakery Company, six were employed with the Pennsylvania Railroad including as engineers, conductors and foremen, and five were employed with Colgate-Palmolive as engineers, managers and supervisors. Numerous others were employed as clerks, bookkeepers, auditors, office and division managers, foremen, and supervisors for companies like Sunshine Hatcheries, M. Fine & Sons Manufacturing Company, Louisville Bridge & Iron Company, and the United States Treasury. One resident was the secretary/treasurer for E.T. Slider Company, a building materials and supply company, the president of which was Arthur Schoo, one of the developers of the Heddens Grove neighborhood in New Albany.21 Another district resident was a Slider family member who was the sales manager for the E.T. Slider Company. And for a time one resident worked for the Public Service Company, one of the companies owned by Samuel Insull.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State During the period of significance, Lincoln Heights had six employed in the insurance industry including the district manager for Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance and another who was a local manager for Prudential Insurance. Nine residents worked as carpenters or contractors including two who had supervisory roles with large firms and others who owned their own business. Two others were involved in construction of the state highways west of New Albany and formed a partnership to supply crushed stone to the projects. Nine residents were also involved in sales, including those who traveled for Ohio Chemical Company and Goerlichs, Inc. out of Toledo, and one who sold large equipment for use in construction of roads and the hydroelectric power plant. Lincoln Heights also had a number of residents who held top positions as either president or vice-president of local companies including Gunnison Homes, Empire Homes, Bruce Plywood Company, Neon-Lite Company, Purity Maid, Inc., New Albany Machine Manufacturing Company, and New Albany Ice & Cold Storage. The district was also home to business owners whose businesses included an auto dealership, a restaurant, and H. Schultz Coal Company. Two of the businesses owned by district residents are still in operation— Falls City Electric & Hardware/Keller Electric & Hardware and G.F. Munich Welding & Steel Fabrication. Of the women whose employment was recorded in the City Directories, three were teachers, one of whom became a local principal. Four owned their own businesses that included a real estate business, a beauty shop, a church supply business, and an eatery. And others were employed as waitresses, salespeople, and in offices.
NATIONAL REGISTER CRITERION B The Lincoln Heights Historic District meets Criterion B under Education for its association with Floyd Ivan McMurray, the founder and first chancellor of Indiana University Southeast. McMurray founded the school in 1941 and served as director until 1956. The McMurray family moved into their Lincoln Heights home in 1941 and remained in the district for over thirty years after McMurray’s retirement. The location of Indiana University Southeast changed twice during McMurray’s directorship and again in 1973 following his retirement. For this reason, McMurray’s home in Lincoln Heights is considered the best location to represent his significance.
Floyd Ivan McMurray Floyd I. McMurray was born in Lebanon, Boone County, Indiana, in 1891. After graduating from Ninevah High School, he received a B.A. degree from Butler University in 1917 and a master’s degree from Indiana University in 1927. After receiving his undergraduate degree, McMurray served as an infantry lieutenant in the Army during World War I. After his discharge, McMurray served as the principal of Bowers High School and then went on to serve as a city school superintendent at Thorntown and then as superintendent of Boone County Schools.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State In 1934, McMurray was appointed Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction. At the request of former Indiana University president Herman B Wells, and with only a $6,000 budget, in 1941 McMurray left his post in Indianapolis to establish the Indiana University Falls City Area Center, an extension center of the university with classes in New Albany and Jeffersonville. Classes were first held in September 1941 at Jeffersonville High School with a student population of just under three hundred. During World War II, McMurray served briefly in the Army as a captain with the American School Center in England. He returned in 1944 and the following year the extension center moved into its own building on Court Avenue in Jeffersonville and became Indiana University Jeffersonville Extension Center. By the time of McMurray’s retirement as director in 1956, enrollment had grown to just under 1,100 students. Not fully retired, McMurray continued his involvement with the university as an assistant professor until his full retirement in 1961. In 1968, the school was no longer considered a branch campus and became Indiana University Southeast. The university re-located to New Albany in 1973 and now occupies a 177-acre campus. A graduate student extension opened in Jeffersonville in 2003. At the time of McMurray’s death in 1997 at the age of 106, he was lauded by many for his untiring efforts in establishing and growing the school. And at least two past chancellors credited McMurray with the existence of the university in southern Indiana. Following McMurray’s retirement, IUS established the Floyd McMurray Scholarship for high school students, and in honor of McMurray’s 100th birthday established the McMurray Fellows Award to honor individuals who further the university’s growth. Floyd I. and Madge E. (Booher) McMurray purchased their home in Lincoln Heights in 1941. The McMurrays raised their two children in the home and continued to reside there until Madge’s death in 1987. In addition to his public career achievements, McMurray authored three books—Pathway of Our Presidents, West Bound, and Gypsies, as well as numerous articles on education for professional journals. He served as a trustee of Indiana State Teachers College and Ball State Teachers College from 1934-1941. He was a charter member of the Butler University Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. McMurray retained memberships in Tri Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Kappa, the National Education Association, the Scottish Rite, Kiwanis, and the Jeffersonville Rotary Club.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State during the 1920s, it is the most architecturally intact and distinctive of its era. Lincoln Heights has also maintained elements of a cohesive neighborhood not found elsewhere in Clarksville.
Architecture Overview Homes in Lincoln Heights Historic District concurrently present both a variety and similarity of architectural forms and styles from the 1930s through the 1950s. A majority of the homes are larger and more high style than perhaps the average homes of the times for working class neighborhoods, which speaks to the general middle and upper middle-class stature of the residents. While there are early examples of the Bungalow type, the dominant small house forms are the American Small House, single dominant mid-façade gable, and the front-facing gable with wing. Larger home forms tend toward a single dominant mid-façade gable, a front-facing gable with wing, or multiple façade gable examples, although a small number of simple side gabled homes do exist. Later homes display variations of most of the earlier types, but the Ranch form plays a dominant role in post-war construction. Despite the number of homes in the district, the variation in styles is minimal with nearly all styled homes displaying either the Tudor or Colonial Revival styles. The styles are represented among all eras of house forms including Bungalow, American Small House, and Ranch. Only one house, at 2815 Lincoln Drive (Photo 0027), displays the pure Craftsman style, and only two display Contemporary styling, the Ranch homes at 214 Rosewood Drive and 2814 Hollywood Boulevard. Several homes within the district may be catalog homes, however, only one house has been mentioned by residents as possibly being a catalog home. Further in-depth research would be required to make these determinations. Likewise, there have been no accounts of involvement by architects within the district and the names of only one builder and one designer have surfaced, the latter of which gave his own account of designing a house for one other resident. It can be presumed that he then also designed his own house. The builder, Edgar Dunn, very likely also possessed impressive design skills as the homes he is credited with building are large and high styled. At least two houses can be confirmed to be prefabricated. The house at 204 Lynnwood Drive (Photo 0016) was first owned by Edward R. Kiefner, the vice president of Gunnison Housing Corporation, and it is a Gunnison model.22 Likewise, the house at 202

Email conversation with Randy Shipp, historic preservation specialist with the Lexington- Fayette Urban County (KY) Government, and a regional expert on Gunnison Homes. 24 Sep 2019. Note: Based on photographs Randy stated, “Looking at the photos I see a few things that point to it being a Gunnison, though it has been heavily remodeled. The first tell to me are the two sheet metal "chimneys." This is one of the first things I look for in a Gunnison. They served as decorative covers for the water heater and furnace flues and added a little style. The brick fireplace and chimney is also a tell. This was an option that could be added and the details match. In looking at the catalogs I have, there is no exact match to the window configuration that I am seeing in the photo. This does not preclude it from being a Gunnison though. Because the buildings were based on 4'-0" wide panels, these could be, and where, easily adjusted and moved. By counting windows and solid areas, I would guess that this house is basically 48"-0" x 24'-0". Based on this I would see it as a modified Size 6 or 7. It is obvious that the

Types and Styles The Bungalow type and the Craftsman style first emerged around 1905 and quickly dominated the housing market well into the 1930s. The bungalow was adaptable to many forms, from simple single-story front gabled versions to more elaborate two-story versions with varying roof types. Overhanging eaves and full- or partial-width open porches are prevailing features of the bungalow. Any number of styles could be applied to the bungalow, but it is most identified with the Craftsman style. The California design firm of Greene and Greene, credited with popularizing the style, was influenced by the English Arts and Crafts movement and the movement’s principal designer, Gustav Stickley, as well as their interest in Oriental architecture. In Lincoln Heights Historic District, seven bungalows have been identified. One displays the Craftsman style, three at 2704 Hollywood (Photo 0025) and 2709 and 2705 Lincoln (Second from right, Photo 0030) have only trace elements of the style mixed with the more dominant Tudor Revival style, and three at 2706 Hollywood and 2801 and 2605 Lincoln, are generally without stylistic elements. The American Small House was developed in response to the Great Depression and World War II. The small size and simplicity of design— roof lines with little or no overhang, minimal variations in materials, and a lack of ornament—was well suited to construction under the FHA-insured loans and could be quickly built to accommodate the housing needs created by World War II. The principal subtypes included the gable-and-wing roof, the side gable roof commonly called Cape Cod, and hipped and front gable roofs. The houses are typically single or one-and-a-half-story, but occasionally two-story examples exist. Within Lincoln Heights Historic District, examples of all the roof variations of the American Small House can be found. Despite the goal of minimizing ornament, American Small Houses occasionally had stylistic applications of the Tudor or Colonial Revival and examples of both can be found in Lincoln Heights.23 Twenty-six examples of the American Small House have been identified in Lincoln Heights. Seven exhibit the Cape Cod form and nearly all of these have stylistic elements of the Colonial Revival style as seen at 100 Rosewood (Photo 0004), 206 Lynnwood, 212 Lynnwood (Photo 0015), 2810 and 2700 Hollywood (Far right, Photo 0026), and 2807 and 2703 Lincoln (Far right, Photo 0030). The house at 2707 Lincoln has elements of the Tudor Revival style. The house at 200 Rosewood (Photo 003; far left, Photo 0024) is the district’s only two-story American Small House example and 219 Lynnwood is the only front gable example.
windows have all been replaced and artificial siding added. The front facing gable above the door is not original either. That being said, it still reads as a Gunnison to me.”

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State The Tudor Revival style is loosely based on a variety of early English building traditions from simple folk houses to the grander homes of the early Renaissance. In America, the stylistic applications were often mixed with those of the Arts and Crafts movement. Materials usually include copious use of brick, stone and wood with accents such as tabs of cut stone in the walls, arched openings, and half-timbering. The style dominated the domestic building market well into the 1920s, surpassed only by the Colonial Revival style. Examples of the Tudor Revival style in Lincoln Heights are numerous and varied, from minor stylistic applications to an exuberant use of the style throughout the entire exterior. The most dominant subtypes displaying the style are the single dominant mid-façade gable and the front-facing gable with wing, although elements of the Tudor Revival appear on a handful of other house types. Bungalows exhibiting the Tudor Revival style include 2704 Hollywood (Photo 0025; second from left, Photo 0026) and 2709 Lincoln. Examples of the front-facing gable with wing can be found at 207 (Photo 0005) and 200 Maplewood (Photo 0009; corner at far right, Photo 0008), 214 Lynnwood (Photo 0014), and 2606 Hollywood. An example of the single dominant mid-façade gable is at 301 Lynnwood (Far left, Photo 0021). The Colonial Revival style emerged during the late 1800s in response to a renewed interest in the early English and Dutch colonial houses of the Atlantic seaboard. Restoration of Colonial Williamsburg helped maintain an interest in the style even into the 1950s making it the most dominant domestic architecture style during the first half of the twentieth century. The use of masonry, particularly red brick, is a dominant feature with door surrounds, fan lights, cornice decoration, and double-hung windows with multi-pane glazing being common decorative elements. Within the Lincoln Heights Historic District, use of the style is not seen with as much exuberance as that of the Tudor Revival style and applications of the style can be easily overlooked. Early examples of the style include the two-story house at 204 Maplewood (Center from right, Photo 0008) and the Cape Cod houses at 100 Rosewood (Photo 0004), 212 Lynnwood (Photo 0015), and 2820 Hollywood. The Ranch was a new type that emerged from southern California in the mid-1930s. Loosely based on the Spanish Colonial ranch homes of the American southwest, the single story, sprawling nature of the homes was marketed as being casual and oriented toward the family and outdoors. The use of more than one exterior material, picture windows, integrated planters, and attached garages are common features. During the World War II and immediate post-war years characteristics of the American Small House were often applied to Ranch homes, called compact Ranches, to better meet the FHA financing guidelines. As the guidelines were lifted, Ranch homes grew increasingly larger and more styled.24 Lincoln Heights Historic District has a sizeable collection of variations on the Ranch home. Five transitional compact Ranches are present at 216 Lynnwood (Far left, Photo 0013) and 2817, 2805, 2803 (Photo 0029) and 2603 (Photo 0031) Lincoln. Even the prefabricated Gunnison modular home at 204 Lynnwood (Photo 0016) references the trends set forth in both the American Small House and Ranch movements.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State The district contains over twenty examples of the larger, standard size Ranch home built within the period of significance. The last constructed was at 2603 Hollywood (Photo 0022). Most are un-styled. However, the houses at 303 and 208 Rosewood display elements of the Colonial Revival style. The district’s only multiple dwelling is the duplex Ranch at 203-205 Lynnwood (Photo 0012). The popularity of the Ranch house and its styled versions continued well into the 1980s, evidence of which can be found in two of the non-contributing houses in the district. The house at 202 Lynnwood is an earlier modular home reconfigured in 1980 that reflects a Ranch type, and the house at 100 Lynnwood is a new house constructed in 1982 that has many features of a typical Ranch home. One of the outstanding houses in the district is the Contemporary-style Ranch at 214 Rosewood. The style emerged congruently with Ranch homes and characteristics of the two are often found in tandem. However, the Contemporary style called for less application of exterior decoration and more focus on the interior spaces and how they related to the outdoors, much like the Japanese architecture experienced by many during occupation of Japan following World War II. At 214 Rosewood, the deeply recessed entry with its large wall of uninterrupted surface and large etched-glass sidelights at the entrance door, coupled with the half wall of windows to the peak in the east gable, are elements of the Contemporary style mingled with those of the Ranch.
Comparative Qualities Lincoln Heights Historic District closely compares to Heddens Grove Historic District in New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana (National Register of Historic Places, 2010). Heddens Grove Historic District is approximately only 3 miles west/northwest of Lincoln Heights. While the developers of Heddens Grove were linked to the early settlement of New Albany and platted their ancestral land, unlike that of the early story of Lincoln Heights Historic District, most other aspects of the two districts are mirrored. Both historic districts were platted as streetcar, or interurban, subdivisions with earlier developments nearby outside their current district boundaries that likely prompted the additional later developments. Likewise, both suburbs have a grid plan and were designed and marketed to attract the middle and upper middle class, residents who would play significant economic and social roles in the local community. With construction in both Lincoln Heights and Heddens Grove beginning in the mid -to later 1920s, the architecture is also similar—a collection of Bungalows, some displaying the Craftsman style, as well as homes exhibiting the Colonial and Tudor Revival styles, and later Ranch homes. A distinct difference between the districts is that Heddens Grove has landscape features that include sidewalks and stone pillars and walls marking the entrances into the neighborhood. Lincoln Heights does not have sidewalks nor formal entrance features and is without landscape features installed as part of the development. Another notable difference is that Lincoln Heights is larger with 98 homes as opposed to 45 in Heddens Grove.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State Between Heddens Grove and Lincoln Heights near Brown’s Station Way is Glenwood Historic District, also in New Albany. It was platted as a continuation of neighboring older development in close proximity to the interurban line, is similar in size to Heddens Grove with only 39 resources along two streets and has similar architecture with a mix of Colonial and Tudor Revival-style residences. However, local historian and life-long Clarksville resident, Jane Sarles, agrees that neither Heddens Grove nor Glenwood Historic District have the distinct sense of separateness from neighborhoods outside its boundaries as does Lincoln Heights, nor the feel of connectedness among the residents. Within Clarksville in Clark County, of the five neighborhoods platted during the 1920s, Lincoln Heights has the most notable architecture representing types and styles from the late 1920s through the early 1960s. It is also the most intact neighborhood, the others having suffered incompatible alterations, loss of resources, or intrusion from outside development. From its earliest beginnings Lincoln Heights has been known throughout the town as a close-knit neighborhood. Some of this may have been influenced by the Munich’s who not only developed the district but also maintained their office in their home there. One of their selling tools and means of fostering neighborhood cohesion was production of Lincoln Heights Magazine that referred to it as “Mid-Cities Finest Homesite.” The magazine also used the term “restricted” in listing one of the neighborhood qualities, a practice often used from the 1920s through 1940s to establish neighborhood character and maintain quality and property values.25 Although such restrictions usually expired after a certain time, to the present-day residents have understood the need to maintain their homes or undertake additions or remodeling to certain expectations. Evidence of this is clear in the well-maintained yards and homes, the compatible new construction or design of garages and additions, and even in the presence of concrete cones along streets edges designed to discourage on-street parking or damage to lawns by vehicles. A small handful of original residents remain, some of whom now live in their childhood home. And a large number of homeowners are only the second or third owner, many of whom have grown children or siblings also living within the district. The desire locally to live in Lincoln Heights has continued since its development. This desire is also fostered by the strong sense of community. Residents know each other, communicate, and particularly in the earlier years, socialized regularly. Over the years they have also banded together to work for desired improvements for the neighborhood. Thus, a strong sense of community exists within the district as does a desire to retain the integrity of the architecture, landscape, and original infrastructure. Within Clarksville and indeed within the region, Lincoln Heights is unique.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State
Developmental History/Additional historic context information
Clarksville and Clark County, Indiana Both the town of Clarksville and Clark County, Indiana, are named for George Rogers Clark, the leader of the Kentucky Militia beginning in 1777. His campaign to capture the British in what would become Illinois secured the United States’ claims to the Northwest Territory. In recognition of their achievement, the colonial Virginia legislature granted Clark and his men land along the Ohio River and the town of Clarksville was founded in 1783. Settlement began the following year with construction of Fort Clark and a grist mill erected by Clark. Clark County was formed in 1801 from Knox County. The county would later be divided to create seventeen additional counties in Indiana. In 1803, George Rogers Clark built a cabin near the river at the Falls of the Ohio, the same year his brother, William, was joined by Meriwether Lewis to begin their Expedition of the Corps of Discovery west across the continent. Today Clarksville is closely linked with the county seat of Jeffersonville and the city of New Albany in Floyd County to the west. Together the area is part of the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area.
Lincoln Heights The district was platted on a portion of the 500-acre McCullough farm. The 1870 farmhouse remains just outside the district boundary to the north and is listed on the Indiana Register of Historic Sites and Structures as Montrose, The John McCullough House. It was reused as a restaurant, but the business is now closed. The sprawling acreage afforded the earliest Lincoln Heights residents an experience in rural living—fruit from the farm’s orchard trees, a cornfield and cow pastures to the east, and a dirt lane McCullough Pike (what would become Indiana Highway 131/Lewis and Clark Parkway) to the north. In 1912, the Louisville & Southern Indiana Traction Company was reorganized as Interstate Public Service Company, one of Samuel Insull’s many interests.26 In 1925, it became a subsidiary of his Midland Utilities Company, which acquired many streetcar and utilities companies across the United States. The Interstate Public Service Company was reorganized as Public Service of Indiana in 1930 and held ownership of the electricity sub-station just south of Lincoln Heights on Lincoln Drive. Two years later Insull resigned from Midland Utilities Company, the same year streetcar service between Jeffersonville and New Albany was replaced with buses. In 1935, Anton and Josephine Munich bought out the Insull’s interests in the Lincoln Heights development. Five years later, Anton died of tuberculosis and his wife continued the real estate development business.

Lincoln Heights Historic District Clark County, Indiana Name of Property County and State The neighborhood was affected by the Ohio River flood of 1937, which occurred in January and left many affected areas underwater for up to three weeks. Within the district the most severe impacts were to the homes nearest the intersection of Rosewood Drive and Hollywood Boulevard, which flooded to the eaves. The early homes along Lincoln Drive were also likely affected. The Peck family home at 214 Lynnwood Drive is known in the neighborhood for having been a refuge for other residents due to its location on a higher point of land. Because the following houses and their occupants first appear in both the 1930 census and the 1931-1932 city directory, it is determined that the oldest houses in the district, built in 1929, are: 200 Rosewood, The Keller House; 2710 Hollywood Boulevard, The Gibson House; 2704 Hollywood Boulevard, The King House; and 2801 Lincoln Drive, The Embrey House. This information is further corroborated by the recollections of some of the district’s earliest residents. Because the following houses and their occupants don’t appear in the 1930 census but do appear in the 1931-1932 city directory, it is determined that the second oldest houses in the district, built in 1930, are: 205 Rosewood, The Truex House; 204 Rosewood, The Poulter-Wells House; 201 Rosewood, The Moore-McMurray House; 205 Maplewood, The Grote House; 2808 Hollywood; 2804 Hollywood; 2800 Hollywood, The Fox-Shoup House; 2708 Hollywood, The Rice-Pershing-Roby House; 2706 Hollywood, The Berry-Satterlee House; 2606 Hollywood, The Kenney House; 2815 Lincoln, The Simon-Schultz-Burnett House; 2813 Lincoln; 2809 Lincoln, The Curtis House; 2709 Lincoln, The Baer-Long-Dorsey House; and 2607 Lincoln, The Lewman House.

Boundary Justification (Explain why the boundaries were selected.)
Lincoln Heights Historic District and its earliest residents first appear in the 1930 census under Lincoln Heights Subdivision. As further evidence that the district did not yet exist, the 1929- 1930 city directory does not list any of the streets within the historic district other than Lincoln Drive, which was already a major artery through Clarksville. The neighborhood first appears as Lincoln Heights Subdivision in the 1931-1932 city directory. From the 1931-1932 city directory through the 1960 directory, residents are specifically referenced to the neighborhood as Lincoln Heights, either written in full or as “LH.” At no point do any of the listings include the area west of Lincoln Drive, namely what is now Lakeview Drive and further west. The evidence concludes that the houses and streets as outlined within the nomination are those that are historically part of the Lincoln Heights Subdivision.
