Let’s explore Fountain Square in Indianapolis
Fountain Square is one of Indianapolis’s most historic and vibrant neighborhoods. It is located southeast of downtown Indy. Fountain Square owes its name to the public fountain that is installed at the intersection of Virginia Avenue, Prospect Street and Shelby Street in 1889. It became a beloved gathering point for the surrounding community. Businesses and entertainment venues thrived in this area. Fountain Square attracted German, Irish and Italian families, many of whom opened small businesses along Virginia Avenue. The rise of suburbs after World War II left a decline in the area.
In the late 90’s and early 2000’s artists and entrepreneurs saw the potential in the neighborhood’s historic architecture and cultural arena. A new fountain was installed in the neighborhood’s central plaza in 2009. Over the years businesses returned to Fountain Square, including restaurants, coffee shops and galleries.
