Introduction | 4

01.1| 16 Tech Innovation DistrictSituated on 50 acres on the northwest of downtown Indianapolis in the historic Riverside neighborhood and within the Indiana Avenue cultural district, the 16 Tech Innovation District is purposefully designed as a dynamic urban community for scientific research, technology innovation, entrepreneurial activity, and talent attraction. 16 Tech serves both as a signature development project for the new, metropolitan-based 21st century economy of advanced industries and university partners as well as an accelerator for Indiana’s innovation community, catapulting the region to global recognition for cross-sector collaboration and innovation.

16 Tech is located near the existing ecosystem of innovation at the Indiana University School of Medicine, Indiana University-Purdue University (IUPUI), start-up companies like Cook Regentec and industry giants like Eli Lilly and Company, SalesForce, Cummins and Rolls Royce. And it sits next to residential neighborhoods connected by rich history and more than 850 acres of city park land.

Although its primary purpose is to drive a wide range of research, innovation, academic, entrepreneurial, technological and commercial activity, 16 Tech will also include residential, retail and recreational activities. In addition to 3 million square feet of research and office space, 16 Tech will invest in public art and other placemaking strategies to add to the area’s vibrant atmosphere. Easy access to walking and biking trails, local waterways, and a multi-use path will provide ample opportunities to connect to the city or reconnect with nature.

The 16 Tech Master Plan also calls for the creation of a central green accessible to all who work and live in the district and surrounding neighborhoods. Intended as the principal programmable space and communal destination, the central green will link to a broader pedestrian and open space network that runs through the district. Together, these elements will help tenants recruit and retain the types of highly motivated scientists, researchers, engineers, designers and professionals that are needed to succeed and make 16 Tech a destination for the broader Central Indiana community.

16 Tech broke ground in December 2018 and will open its first office and research building in Summer 2020. Innovation Building 1 will be home to the Indiana Biosciences Research Institute, the state’s first and only applied research institute that brings together teams of scientists, engineers and data analysts and leverages existing industry and academic expertise in nutrition science, genetics and genomics, biochemistry, endocrinology, novel delivery systems and therapeutic approaches to deliver important answers to metabolic disease.

Innovation Building 1 tenants also include the IU School of Medicine, as well as the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP) and its industry initiatives. CICP brings together chief executives of Central Indiana’s prominent corporations, foundations and universities in a strategic and collaborative effort dedicated to the region’s continued prosperity and growth. To advance its mission, CICP sponsors six key economic development initiatives AgriNovus Indiana, Ascend Indiana, BioCrossroads, Conexus Indiana, Energy Systems Network and TechPoint. Each initiative addresses challenges and opportunities unique to its respective sector: agricultural, life sciences, workforce development, advanced manufacturing and logistics, energy technology and technology.

In January 2020, 16 Tech also commenced the renovation of the former Indianapolis Water Company headquarters; the project is expected to be complete by end of 2020 and will house flexible office and incubator space managed by 1776, the nation’s largest network of incubators, in addition to an advanced makerspace, and an artisan market to provide food / beverage amenities and a lifestyle hub for 16 Tech tenants and visitors. 16 Tech also anticipates breaking ground on the first residential project and a second new class A office building in 2020. Construction is ongoing for several public infrastructure projects including new roads, paths and walkways as well as site preparation for the 16 Tech Bridge.

16 Tech is being developed by the non-profit 16 Tech Community Corporation in partnership with local and state funding, as well as philanthropic and corporate support.

For additional information regarding the impact of the 16 Tech Innovation District, please review the 2018 Economic Impact Report by Techonomy.

For background on innovation districts, please review “The Rise of Innovation Districts: A New Geography of Innovation in America” by the Brookings Institute.

01.2| Indianapolis Design LegacyIndianapolis’s design legacy has a solid foundation that began in the 19th century. While indigenous people were here long before Europeans arrived, the city formally appeared with the surveyor and engineer Alexander Rolsten platting the land as a mile square. After the railroad boom, Indianapolis blossomed into a contemporary city filled with forward-thinking projects completed by the likes of Paul Cret, Percival Gallagher, George Kessler, John Rankin, Rubush & Hunter, Bernard Vonnegut, Milton Glaser, and many others. Starting in the late 19th century and through today, monuments and memorials have dominated public areas in the heart of the city.

In the 20th century, the city followed post-war design trends. Many excellent projects were designed by Indianapolis-based firms, and Indianapolis is now home to a wide variety of practices across the disciplines. There is a growing body of work by notable firms that do not have offices in Indianapolis, such as Deborah Berke and Partners, David Rubin Land Collective, Diller Scofidio Renfro, HOK, Marlon Blackwell Architects, Michael Graves Architecture and Design, OLIN, SOM, and others.

Project Description | 7

02.1| Overview16 Tech Community Corporation. the non-profit developer of the 16 Tech Innovation District, seeks qualified teams with a combination of experience and expertise in innovative, imaginative, and implementable design that will capture the spirit of the district. The team will design an iconic gateway bridge crossing Fall Creek from Riley Hospital Drive / 10th Street, concepts for four signature entrances as defined by the 16 Tech Design Standards and a concept for an overall campus wayfinding package for the 16 Tech Innovation District. The design of the bridge will be a complete design effort from initial concepts to administration of the construction contract. The other portions of the project will be for a schematic level design effort only.

02.2| 16 Tech BridgeA bridge can be viewed as simply a physical structure that allows people to travel from one place to another. It is also used as a metaphor for connecting people and ideas.

For 16 Tech, a bridge is both.

The 16 Tech Bridge, spanning nearly 350 feet across Fall Creek, will connect the innovation district with 10th Street and the myriad research assets in Indy. While the bridge will serve as an important physical structure, it’s much more than that. It will be an iconic connection into the innovation district and the primary architectural expression of the district’s unique energy.

The bridge will serve as an entryway to the 16 Tech Innovation District and the design will support the objectives of the 16 Tech Master Plan. The bridge itself will span from the north side of 10th Street at Riley Drive across Fall Creek and into the 16 Tech Innovation District. The initial concept for the bridge infrastructure has an overall width of approximately 90 feet, which would include driving lanes, parking lanes, sidewalks, planting beds, and a combination sidewalk / multi-use path / trail to enhance the overall experience of entering the district. The overall length of the bridge from top of riverbank to top of riverbank is approximately 350 feet.

The north end of the bridge site will connect to the future central green park that will be a public space for gathering and programming within the 16 Tech District. The south end of the bridge site is less than two miles to downtown Indianapolis and will connect to IU Health University Hospital, Riley Children’s Hospital, Eskenazi Health, and the campus of Indiana University-Purdue University (IUPUI). Of special note on the south end of the bridge is an urban park designed by Percival Gallagher of the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm. The park, which was designed in 1929-34 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, is situated on the west side of Riley Hospital Drive between the IU Health and Eskenazi hospitals.

Upon completion, the 16 Tech Bridge will be dedicated as a public asset and serve as a public right of way. The bridge must meet appropriate standards of reliability, durability and maintainability.

02.3| Signature EntrancesThe 16 Tech Design Standards identify four locations for “signature entrances.” The Design Standards identify that these are key locations for approaches into the 16 Tech District. As the first experience that many individuals will have of 16 Tech, the signature entrances will help to establish an arrival as well as a sense of place within the larger context of the city. It is the intent of this process to identify an integrated schematic design approach for the signature entrances, the bridge and district wayfinding, so that each of the design elements reinforce the other as well as the identity and brand of 16 Tech. The design of the entrances can be any combination of elements such as art, architecture, lighting or site amenities to create this experience.

02.4| WayfindingIt is the intent of this integrated schematic design process to identify an approach for wayfinding for 16 Tech that is cohesive with the 16 Tech bridge and the signature entries. The wayfinding scope of work should address any and all forms of needed directional communication and include universal design features, for all individuals. Expected vehicular wayfinding includes: vehicular wayfinding around the perimeter of the district to navigate efficiently to desired destinations; vehicular wayfinding within the district to areas such as parking lots and drop offs; and a logical naming or numbering system for vehicular wayfinding within the district parking structures in order to develop a common understanding of these structures. Expected pedestrian wayfinding scope includes identification of directional signage for district pedestrian pathways in order to create a mental map of the district and increase awareness of walkable alternatives for district residents and workers. Wayfinding should also take into account additional forms of mobility and transportation, including scooters, ride-sharing services, etc. Specific to this project, wayfinding will also include schematic scope for trail signage and directional information for the anticipated 16 Tech Trail. Additional wayfinding scope for trail systems should identify common ways and means to integrate 16 Tech District wayfinding with the adjoining city trails.

02.5| Coordination with stakeholdersReflecting 16 Tech’s goals for community engagement, the contracted Design Team will be expected to detail a process for engaging with various community groups and neighborhood organizations as a part of the design process. The desire of this engagement is to provide a forum for the Design Team to share information about the design process with residents and community leaders; learn about the surrounding neighborhoods and the interests and values as it relates to 16 Tech; and collect feedback that will inform themes that may be utilized in the development of a contextually relevant artistic vocabulary for all of the designs.

02.6| Past & Current Effort CoordinationThe contracted Design Team will interface with American Structurepoint, the Civil Engineer of Record for the design of all roads and site utilities in the 16 Tech Innovation District. There will be a need to coordinate the bridge approach with planned road alignments, as well as other required coordination activities.

Project Description | 9

02.7| Future Project AnticipationThe design of the various portions of the project shall anticipate and be coordinated as required with all future 16 Tech projects as indicated on the 16 Tech Master Plan. Specific areas of focus for the bridge and southern entrance include connections to the central green and adjacent open spaces and the proximity of a future hotel.

In addition, the bridge and southern entrance designs will specifically need to address the of multiple pedestrian trail systems that will converge at the south side of the bridge. The Indianapolis trail system adjacent to the project includes the current White River Trail and anticipated extensions of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, Fall Creek Greenway Trail, Urban Wilderness Trail and Cross-Country Arena, Eskenazi Health’s Wellness Trail, and the creation of a new “Tech Trail” that is desribed in the 16 Tech Master Plan and 16 Tech Design Standards.

02.8| Multiple Schematic Design OptionsThe contracted Design Team will be expected to submit multiple schematic design options of the three scope components for the project, along with an estimated cost for each option that is presented. The Owner will then identify a preferred option for the bridge design to be refined. Construction Documentation will then be created to Bid and Construct each part of the project.

The Owner will identify a preferred option for the signature entrances and district wayfinding that may require refinements to complete the schematic design effort.

02.9| AHJ Submission ResponsibilityThe contracted Design Team will be expected to include line items for all Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) reviews in the proposed project schedule and to then submit to all appropriate AHJ’s. This will include entities such as the City of Indianapolis, Indy Parks, State of Indiana, Army Corps of Engineers and other reviewing agencies. Costs for the various submissions are to be included in the Proposed Fee Structure as a pass-through dollar amount.

02.10| Project BudgetThe Owner’s project budget for all portions of this project as defined in the Project Description is $14.5 million, inclusive of both hard (construction) and soft costs (design fees for all three scopes of work, permits, etc.). This dollar amount cannot be exceeded by any of the project budget estimates completed by the Design Team or by the final total cost of the project, including the best and most responsive bid for construction of the bridge design by a construction entity. If the total project costs exceed the Owner’s budget after the project bidding period, adjustments to the project bridge design will be required of the Design Team as a part of their base design fee in order to insure that the total project costs fit within the Owner’s project budget.

02.11| Project ScheduleThe design phase is scheduled to begin June 2020, and the anticipated construction completion date is December 2022. Refer to section in “Process, Requirements & Criteria” for the RFQ and RFP schedule. Cummins Indy Distribution Headquarters

Notes on the Social and Cultural Heritage of the 16 Tech Project AreaPaul R. Mullins, PhD Anthropology, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis

IntroductionThis report provides a historical survey of the people and neighborhoods with links to the spaces that are now part of the development of the 16 Tech Innovation District. The heart of the area examined in this report is south of West 16th Street, which has had modest residential neighborhoods on the northeast side of what is now Indiana Avenue and light industry to the south, including the Indianapolis Water Company tract. This neighborhood is today part of the Riverside neighborhood, which stretches along the White River north to West 30th Street, south to Fall Creek, and east to the Central Canal. There was modest residential settlement in the area south of West 16th Street by the mid-19th century, and some of that housing remains on Milburn and Rembrandt Streets. Most residential neighborhoods in Riverside are north of West 16th Street.

In the 20th century a rather large residential community grew up on the eastern boundaries of Riverside Park north of 16th Street, which remains a densely settled community today. A handful of homes were built along the White River between 10th and 16th Streets by the Civil War, but by the late-19th century the tract was almost entirely composed of Indianapolis Water Company property. This report examines the basic settlement patterns and chronology for the 16 Tech development south of West 16th Street, which was part of a broader Riverside neighborhood during the 20th century that reached to Riverside Amusement Park on West 30th Street.

Indigenous Heritage in Central IndianaFor at least 12,000 years people have lived in central Indiana, and hunters and gatherers secured resources along the White River throughout prehistory. Communities of indigenous people were living in central Indiana when Europeans settled in Indianapolis, and indigenous peoples had at least sporadic trade relations with the earliest Europeans. John H.B. Nowland indicated that the city’s second European merchant, Robert Wilmot, “had a small stock of goods and Indian trinkets, and for a short time carried on a trade with the Indians.” The contemporary White River topography in West Indianapolis has been dramatically transformed by two centuries of urbanization, upstream agricultural drainage, and flood levee construction. The Lenape (Delaware) people who were in this area before European settlement called the river “Wapahani.” Flood plains did not preserve much archaeological evidence of indigenous peoples, so the prehistoric landscape is deeply buried, but the area has certainly witnessed human visitors for more than ten millennia.

European Settlement of IndianapolisThe 16 Tech tract was not occupied until the mid-19th century, but there were Europeans settled immediately south along Fall Creek. George Pogue likely was the first European to settle in what is now Indianapolis, probably arriving in the city’s eastside in February or March 1819, or perhaps a year later in 1820. Revolutionary War veteran Isaac Wilson settled on April 6, 1820 where the State house sits today, but in about 1821 or 1822 he moved from that home to a site on the current Indiana University Medical Campus. Indiana historian Jacob Dunn believed John Maxwell and John Cowan settled “near the present city hospital,” and John McCormick’s brother Samuel constructed a cabin “about where the Maus brewery is located” (today the northwest corner of New York Street and University Boulevard). John McCormick’s neighbors, according to Dunn, soon included his brother James, John Maxwell, John Cowan, brothers Henry and Samuel Davis, Robert Barnhill, and Barnhill’s son-in-law Jeremiah Corbaley. Sulgrove identified Barnhill and his son-in-law as farmers, and Dunn indicated they settled “on Fall Creek above Indiana Avenue,” which might place them on the 16 Tech tract. Thurman Rice argued that settlement along Fall Creek placed these families relatively close to the proposed town in a space that was already clear. Rice noted that there “was an area of about 150 to 200 acres already `deadened’ by some sort of disease. This area was in the region of Military Park and to the northwest where the Medical Center now stands.” This handful of settlers likely farmed the space and used Fall Creek where it spilled across the contemporary IU Medical Center campus for milling.

The Historical Landscape of 16 TechIn 1855 the AB Condit map included a road crossing Fall Creek and running along the eastern shore of the White River. Most of the street names in the project area have been renamed, in some cases several times, and this is the case with Lafayette Road. In the 19th century Lafayette Road was normally referred to as Crawfordsville Road, and it ran more-or-less through the present-day Indianapolis Water Company property northwest to the intersection of Waterway Boulevard and North Harding Street, from where it continued northwest along what is now referred to as Waterway Boulevard. This road was also known as Speedway Drive at various times in the 20th century. That earliest 1855 map of the 16 Tech project area included no indication that any structures were built anywhere on the tract, but there probably were some ephemeral structures.

Fall Creek fanned southward from a location near 10th Street and Indiana Avenue into a number of ill-defined tributaries. Casper Maus constructed a brewery at the northwest corner of New York and Agnes (University Boulevard) Streets in 1868, probably using the mill creek run as a water source. However, many of these ill-defined waterways simply spilled over in heavy rains, leaving behind ponds of standing water and constant erosion damage. In the 1870s city planners began a significant project to re-channel Fall Creek and fill in the numerous branches that spilled across the present-day IUPUI campus. An 1874 guide to Marion County observed that the “citizens of the county are making a change in the mouth of the [Fall] creek so that it will empty into White River about one and one-fourth miles above its present mouth” (cited in Rice 1947:62). A new channel was excavated from the Indiana Avenue bridge west to the White River, a channel that still runs along the north side of 10th Street. South-flowing channels

Page �2

continued to spill across the Indiana University Medical Campus; the most prominent was known as the Mill Race because Isaac Wilson and Samuel Patterson’s mill once sat along it, and it continued to run south across campus and emptied into the White River near the Washington Street bridge. By the early twentieth century, Mill Race itself was filled in and became a roadway following the channel’s original southeastern course; subsequent roadways in this area such as Beauty Street were laid out on this same pattern at an angle askew to the city’s predominant grid pattern. The re-routed Fall Creek running along the north side of present-day Fall Creek was depicted in the 1875 OW Gray map of the city. By 1875 a bridge extended over the White River just north of where the Emrichsville Dam would subsequently be built, roughly where the 16th Street bridge crosses White River today.

The 1889 Atlas of Marion County identified the first significant development of the 16 Tech project area. Four structures were scattered through the area as well as a structure for the Indianapolis Water Company, with the Belt Railroad line crossing the White River near the Water Company and running through the area (along the same rail line the rail line takes today). One of those structures on Crawfordsville Road was the residence of William F. Emmerich, whose home sat where Perry Stadium was built in 1931, roughly near the present-day intersection of Waterway Boulevard and North Harding Street. Emmerich managed a grocery at the intersection of Crawfordsville Road and Lafayette Pike in the 1880s. The White River dam below 16th Street is named after the Emmerich family, and in the late 19th century the undeveloped forest north of 16th Street along the White River was known as Emmerich’s Grove before it became Riverside Park. Some streets zoned for residential housing had been cut east of Milburn Street; none of those streets exist today, though Milburn remains in the same place (cf. the 1889 Map of Indianapolis and Its Suburbs). By 1894 maps suggest that the city was permitting residential development of the project area, with a series of streets cut along Indiana Avenue, which had been extended to Post Road (now Gent Avenue) sometime between 1889 and 1894. In June 1900 the Indianapolis Water Company proposed re-routing the old Crawfordsville Road, forming a new roadway that runs basically along the same route as the contemporary Waterway Boulevard.

Residential SettlementThere was not an especially sizable residential neighborhood, with most residents settling the neighborhood after 1900. A few households were located along Milburn Street, for instance, in 1900 between Indiana Avenue and 16th Street. While the neighborhoods along Indiana Avenue to the south and east were becoming the hub of African-American Indianapolis, between 1900 and 1940 not a single African American resident was living along Milburn Street. African Americans were scattered along Indiana Avenue, and many of the side streets crossing Milburn Street, but the pattern until after World War II was for the homes of white Hoosiers to face each other with African-American homes facing each other on side streets. Consequently, the area was not strictly segregated for most of the 20th century, and most of the white and black neighbors alike were working-class laborers. Milburn Street would not become an African-American neighborhood until about 1950. At that point most of the house lots

Page �3

along the east side of Milburn Street were claimed for urban renewal, with much of the space integrated into Fall Creek Park.

Park Space Along the White RiverMuch of the neighborhood north of West 16th Street did not become densely settled until the early 20th century. The first proposal to turn the White River’s banks into public parks came in 1894, when landscape architect Joseph Earnshaw proposed creating continuous waterfront parks that would reach along the White River. However, his proposal died because the City Council was disinterested in the seemingly expensive plan. Two years later John Charles Olmsted, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., and Charles Eliot provided a parks plan to Indianapolis’ Parks Commission that echoed Earnshaw’s plan to focus a park system along the city’s waterways. The Olmsted firm’s plan proposed a variety of parks linked by “a handsome parkway along Fall Creek … We believe it would be worth all it would cost to extend this parkway down Fall Creek from Michigan Road to White River and along White River to a point as near Washington-street bridge as might be found practicable, from which point it should be made to connect with one or more of the broad streets north of Military Park.” The Olmsted proposal emphasized that the city’s waterways were its most important landscape planning feature: “In conclusion, we may say that the best, and indeed almost the only, park sites worth considering are those including some portion of the rivers or runs which pass through or close to the city, and that it is high time that desirable and conveniently situated lands for parks and playgrounds should be secured.” The predominately African-American neighborhoods south of Fall Creek along Indiana Avenue were eventually removed from the plan by City Councilors who concluded that the “lands south of Indiana Avenue are least likely to advance rapidly in value, and that consequently it will be best to abandon for the present the southern end of the system.”

Development in Riverside Neighborhood and Park AreasPortions of the Riverside area between contemporary West 18th and 30th Streets had been platted by 1889, but that streetscape was significantly modified by the creation of Riverside Park in 1898 and Burdsal Parkway. Burdsal Parkway was graded in November 1912 and linked the park and neighborhood to the city’s broader park system. The Parkway was part of George Kessler’s 1909 Indianapolis plan, which borrowed much from Earnshaw and Olmsteds’ plans for parkways along the city’s waterways. The Indianapolis Star indicated that “Mr. Kessler urged the importance of securing to the city the use and control of both banks of all natural waterways and the preservation of their natural beauty.” The banks of all the city’s waterways were not universally purchased by the city, but Kessler’s boulevard system delivered many residents to green riverine spaces throughout the city. Kessler’s 1909 plan proposed the construction of a boulevard along the east banks of the White River that would have run south through the 16 Tech tract, but that road south of West 18th Street was never constructed.

In 1912 Indianapolis Star columnist Walter Sidney Greenough applauded the park construction but recognized that it was likely that “Big Business will rail at the beautification plan and seek the parks for factory lands even more assiduously than

Page �4

now.” Indeed, the city accommodated industries along the White River’s stretches through the African American near-Westside and along the West Indianapolis banks of the River. After a devastating 1913 flood, much of the White River in the city’s near-Westside was widened, had new levees constructed, and was lined with massive concrete floodwalls that remain the contemporary waterway’s most striking feature. When the downtown canal was remodeled 70 years later, it too was dramatically remodeled into a concrete artery lined with pedestrian walkways, fountains and decorative footbridges, and nearly all its historic structures.

The Smallpox Detention Hospital on 16th StreetIn 1905 the Palmer map of Indianapolis illustrated a “detention hospital” east of Milburn Street at present-day 16th Street (roughly where Printing Partners is located today). The detention hospital (sometimes referred to as the city “pest house”) was proposed for smallpox patients in November 1903 on 11 acres north of City Hospital. Planners proposed a relatively significant structure segregating infectious disease patients surrounded by an eight-foot high fence. The hospital eventually opened in March 1904. Some neighbors clearly did not want to live alongside the hospital, and in February 1904 the second suit against the city was brought by John Walters, who lived 380-feet from the structures. Walters‘ home was at 1402 Trumbull Avenue, immediately south of the detention hospital, and Walters’ home probably was among those flooded in just months before. Residents petitioned the city to raise the levee and raise the height of the Indiana Avenue bridge, where Fall Creek flood waters had backed up at the bridge. The detention hospital continued in use into the 1930s.

The Indianapolis Water CompanyThe western side of present-day Indiana Avenue northwest of the Fall Creek was rapidly purchased by the Indianapolis Water Company, which has perhaps been the most visible resident of the 16 Tech project area. By 1908 all of the property in this area was owned by the Indianapolis Water Company, with the exception of the residence of Walter Emmerich. A water works company had proposed to provide water to the city using the canal in 1851, but they failed to complete their plans. The Indianapolis Water Works Company was incorporated in 1866, and after initial delays and reorganization, the company had laid nine miles of pipe and issued its first annual report in 1871. A pumping station was first built along the White River on Washington Street (now in White River State Park). A decade later the company was sold in 1881, by when 52 miles of water mains were reportedly in place, and the company became the Indianapolis Water Company. A new pumping station and filter gallery were constructed on the 16 Tech project area where the surviving Water Company building stands today.

In March 1897 the Water Company owned about 40 acres, and the Parks Commission proposed to make the Water Company property part of Riverside Park, which was being constructed north of 16th Street. Parks planners proposed to build a series of winding roads between the pumping station and Indiana Avenue with a central fountain. The most ambitious design plans eventually were abandoned, but in 1907 a city booster described the water company’s 252 acres as “parkland.” The Crawfordsville Road path along Fall Creek was re-routed in 1900, running a new road from what was then called

Page �5

Stadium Drive north of the new pumping station that was being built in 1900. A 1900 plan to run a subway to Riverside Park beneath the railroad line was abandoned, but planning of a new pumping station began in 1900, and in July an architectural design for the pumping station indicated that the structure would have a cypress ceiling and be constructed of Indiana limestone that would be “pure Greek in its style of architecture.” In August 1900 the construction was well underway, and on January 24th 1901 the water company reported that the building construction would be completed within three weeks, with the installation of pumping machinery and engines to follow afterward.

Perry StadiumThe other prominent architectural landmark in the 16 Tech project area was Perry Stadium, subsequently renamed Victory Field in 1942 and then Bush Stadium in 1967. Indianapolis’ white minor league team had been playing at a park on West Washington Street since 1905, where Indianapolis won the American Association title in 1908. Indianapolis contemplated potentially ascending to the major leagues, and the club remodeled the grandstands to 20,000 seats. The American Association team proposed building a new stadium on 38th Street across from the State Fairgrounds in 1928, but that proposal was struck down by resistance from neighborhood residents. In April 1931 a new proposal was approved to construct a stadium south of Riverside Park. The design would seat 15,000 people in the grandstands and another 2000 in the bleachers on a 13-acre site that had two standing residences, “one an old brick dwelling and the other a small frame cottage, both of which will be torn down.” (The brick dwelling was certainly the former William Emmerich house.)

The stadium was designed by the Indianapolis architectural firm Pierre and Wright, and the park’s entrance was distinguished by Edward Pierre and George Caleb Wright’s signature Art Deco style rendered in Indiana limestone. Construction of the park began in May 1931 under the direction of Osborn Engineering, who had supervised construction of Fenway Park (Boston, 1912), Yankee Stadium (1923), and Cleveland Stadium (1931). The firm planned to complete construction in 90 days, and the first game was played at Perry Stadium on September 5, 1931.

The stadium was constructed for the city’s American Association baseball team, the Indians. The league was a white-only segregated league, as was all professional baseball until Jackie Robinson was signed by the International League’s Montreal Royals (a Brooklyn Dodgers affiliate) in October 1945. Teams in the American Association first accepted black players in 1951, and in October 1951 the Indians’ major league affiliate Cleveland Indians added three black players to the club’s roster, with the expectation they would start in the 1952 season (Dave Pope, Al Smith, and Dave Hoskins). A year later the African-American newspaper, The Indianapolis Recorder, identified five of the team’s players as black. Negro league teams would continue to play at the field, as they had since Perry Stadium opened. The Negro League teams to play at Perry Stadium and then Victory Field were the ABCs (playing in a variety of Negro leagues in 1932, 1933, 1935, 1938, and 1939), the American Giants (moved briefly from Chicago in 1933), the Athletics (1937), the Crawfords (1940), and the Indianapolis Clowns (1944 to 1962, though the Clowns name was used by a touring

Page �6

team that played Bush Stadium into the 1960s, for instance in 1968). A broad range of events were held at Perry Stadium in addition to baseball games, including boxing and unique events like a track exhibition by Jesse Owens in 1939.In July 1993 Minor League baseball officials announced that the aging Bush Stadium failed to meet its standards, and the city was given until November to develop a renovation plan or the design for a new baseball diamond. The league threatened to move the franchise to another city, and the Indians’ owner was eager to have the city build a new stadium. By fall the city’s Capital Improvement Board agreed that renovations would be nearly as costly as building a new stadium, and they identified three potential downtown stadium locations for a new ballpark. In April 1994 the City-County Council approved plans to build a new ballpark in White River State Park, but the fate of the former Bush Stadium remained unresolved. Baseball continued to be played at Bush Stadium as the new Victory Field arose in White River State Park, and on July 3, 1996 the final baseball game was played at Bush Stadium.

In October 1994 the city announced plans to turn the former Perry Stadium into the centerpiece of a new park that would link Riverside Park with athletic fields on the north side of West 16th Street. The most ambitious dimensions of the plan did not materialize, but in July 2000 a suspension bridge crossing Fall Creek was built near the water company pumping station linking pedestrian trails that ran along the eastern shore of the White River into Riverside Park. In September 1995 the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Tony George proposed to lease the baseball park for dirt track racing, and in April 1997 dirt track racing began at the newly dubbed 16th Street Speedway. The new speedway was poorly attended, though, and in November 1999 the track was closed. Unable to turn the field into a viable ballpark for recreational play, the city began to store cars at the former ballpark.

In 2010 the city faced competing development plans for the ruined stadium. Carmel developer Ryan Fitzpatrick proposed to turn the stadium into a “life sciences and sustainability showcase” serving as the center for a series of “green businesses.” City planners were not convinced Fitzpatrick’s plan was financially viable, but in 2007 developer John Watson proposed to renovate Bush Stadium into apartments, and by 2011 the city indicated that it was supporting the apartment redevelopment plan. In July 2013 the former ballpark opened as apartments known as Stadium Lofts.

Environmental Injustice and Urban DisplacementInto the 1950s Indianapolis continued to expand its 19th-century combined sewer system that releases raw sewage into waterways when precipitation is particularly heavy, ejecting it into the White River drainages including Fall Creek. In 1941, African American resident Curtis Terry filed a suit against the city arguing that sewer overflows were flooding his home and garden at 1101 Stadium Drive. He complained that “refuse dumped into the creek will cause the stream to overflow its channel and flood his property. … Noxious odors in the neighborhood are often caused by a sanitary sewer … located near City Hospital.”

Page �7

A decade later Terry’s home was targeted for demolition by the city’s Redevelopment Commission, and his family moved in about 1952 when their home became part of 178 acres razed during an urban renewal project. That project razed all of the homes east of Milburn Street, which became Fall Creek Park; today a wedge of property along the east side of Milburn Street is owned by Indiana University.

After World War II nearly all of the property on the west side of Indiana Avenue was vacant, but in the 1950s there was extensive construction of a variety of warehouses and light industrial spaces along Indiana Avenue. The residences lining Milburn, Montcalm, and Rembrandt Streets and Gent Avenue between Stadium Drive and West 16th Street were not uprooted, and in 1968 Mount Olive Baptist Church was built at the southwest corner of Milburn and West 16th Streets. Mount Olive Baptist Church was organized in June 1910 and first worshipped at the corner of Blake and Walnut Streets, before moving twice and then purchasing a property at 727 Blake Street in 1921. The church split twice in the 1930s and once again in 2007. Indiana University purchased the long-time Blake Street church from the congregation, and in November 1968 the congregation held a ground-breaking for the construction of a new church on West 16th Street. In August 1969, the congregation marched from the Blake Street Church north to their new home on West 16th Street, where they continue to worship today.

Urban displacement projects along Indiana Avenue and around the Indiana University Medical Center would remove thousands of homes through the 1960s and 1970s. Some of those displaced families moved north into the residential neighborhoods east of Riverside Park. The construction of Interstate 65 simultaneously displaced many residents in the path of the road and eliminated much of the traffic along once-busy commercial corridors on routes like North Harding Street. A handful of residences in the neighborhood off Stadium Drive were razed in 2010 for the construction of parking lots adjoining an apartment complex at the northeast corner of Milburn Street and Stadium Drive/Indiana Avenue, but much of that neighborhood remains where it has been for more than a century.
