Take a Walk Along 10 East

East 10th Street serves as an important corridor and gateway into the near Eastside of Indianapolis. It connects late-nineteenth century neighborhoods such as Cottage Home and Woodruff Place to quaint arts-and-crafts communities such as Little Flower and Emerson Heights.

We hope you’ll download this brochure and explore the corridor and its historic heritage. Imagine the days when it was a dirt road called Clifford Street, learn about its historical features, and share in our enthusiasm about the current revitalization efforts underway to bring renewal to this developing area of Indianapolis.

Hard copies of the brochure are available by contacting the Civic Association at 317-633-8162 or info@civicassoc.org.

The East 10th Street business corridor has much to offer—from varied restaurant and retail outlets to historical landmarks and community events. If you’re looking for a place to connect to neighbors or community resources, we can help.
