Chatham Arch is a neighborhood located immediately east of Downtown Indianapolis. This neighborhood is one of the oldest in Indianapolis, dating back to the mid 19th century. Chatham Arch contains many of Indianapolis’s historic homes.
Indianapolis’ downtown has undergone a dramatic transformation from being a place of vacant storefronts and no activity to that of a dynamic urban district in the United States. In the 1970s, the city suffered under the dramatic effects that plagued other nearby Rust Belt cities such as decreased economic activity, white flight, racial tension, etc. As a result, Downtown Indianapolis was not a desirable place to be in the 1970s, and often saw little to no activity. The City of Indianapolis dealt with these issues and tried to come up with solutions to help revitalize the city’s downtown.
