Historic Preservation
Historic New Chauncey Neighborhood contains a collection of late nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century buildings which reflect the architectural characteristics of six primary styles. The predominant architectural styles in the district are Bungalow, Folk Victorian, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, American Foursquare, and Queen Anne. In some cases, architectural stylistic details have blended through a process of evolution of styles. There are more than 600 contributing homes in the New Chauncey District making it one of the largest in Indiana.
A good number of homes in the New Chauncey neighborhood have these prestigious plaques affixed to them - The next time you are walking though the 'hood, see how many you can find!
Working with Wabash Valley Trust for Historic preservation, New Chauncey Neighbors have been marking their historic homes with historic preservation plaques. These plaques are awarded to homes that have been maintained, restored or rehabilitated as accurately as possible, with sensitivity toward historical detailing.
If you think your house is a plaque candidate, contact the Wabash Valley Trust or the NCNA.
