528 Lockerbie Street is a famous address in Indy. Home to local poet James Whitcomb Riley at one time. It doesn’t take much imagination to hear the carriage wheels of the past with clonking horses hoofs on the cobblestone street in front…which is still there today. The house still looks probably very close to what it did in 1872 when it was built although Indianapolis has moved on. Still the Lockerbie neighborhood around this house is remarkably preserved.
 If you like traditional architecture, Lockerbie is certainly the place for you. Go for a walk or drive slowly down any of the streets or alleys, there is one astounding home after another. Some were magnificent in their day, but some were just simple homes for average folks when originally built. But what was considered simple detail then, is now classic architecture and has taken on an elegance and grandeur provided by the passing of many years.
