The oldest house in Marion County is the Bates-Hendricks House. The Federal-style, brick home was built around 1820 by Richard Keene. In 1851, the home's new owner, Hervey Bates, decided to add on. His addition was built in the Italianate style, complete with a 60-foot tower, giving the home a unique and distinctive look. The home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is such a major landmark that the neighborhood surrounding it is named for the home.
The Bates-Hendricks neighborhood is award-winning and bicycle-friendly. It is located within biking distance to downtown, with I-70 to the north and I-65 to the east. The neighborhood is home to several parks, including Hendricks Park and Send Triangle Greenspace. Because it is directly south of downtown, residents enjoy fast access to Lucas Oil Stadium, the Indiana Convention Center, Bankers Life Fieldhouse, and the Indianapolis City Market.
