Fountain Square is one of the six Indianapolis Cultural Districts and is linked to the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, a world class urban bike and pedestrian path that connects to downtown Indianapolis. The commercial district is poised once again for reinvestment and improvement to continue the tradition as a vibrant entertainment area.
HISTORY OF FOUNTAIN SQUARE THEATRE BUILDING
Since 1928, the Fountain Square Theatre Building has anchored the corner at Shelby and Prospect Streets in Fountain Square. The area has weathered many changes in Fountain Square from a vibrant commericial and theater district to suburban flight beginning in the 1960’s.
Thanks to the efforts of many organizations, groups, and individuals, the area is again developing as a primary live/work community for artists and independent entrepreneurs. The gradual transformation of the commercial district has attracted growing investment in surrounding residential areas, with both long-time residents and new homeowners participating in improving the quality of area homes.
