About The Wardsworth
The Wardsworth Apartments are part of the Old North Side neighborhood, a historic neighborhood known for its outstanding examples of turn of the century homes. The Wardsworth was originally built in 1912 for housing University Students near the birth place of Butler University, which is one block away at the corner of 13th and College. In the early 1990’s the then Lieutenant Governor Frank O’Bannon and his wife Judy lived next door to the building; Mrs. O’Bannon was instrumental in promoting the buildings redevelopment. At the Wardsworth you will be surrounded by history while living in one of the city’s most charming neighborhoods.
The Wardsworth is an apartment community located in Marion County and the 46202 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Indianapolis Public Schools attendance zone.

Location
Get Directions
With its elegant Victorians along tree-lined streets, Old Northside provides a beautiful setting just minutes from downtown. The first house in the neighborhood was built by Ovid Butler in 1848. Butler, a successful attorney and an abolitionist, opened a school open to everyone, regardless of gender or race, which eventually became Butler University. In 1868, Benjamin Harrison moved to the neighborhood. Harrison, a Civil War veteran, became the nation's 23rd president.
Today, the Old Northside Historic District contains several notable landmarks, including the Morris-Butler House (built in 1864), the Benjamin Harrison Home (built in 1874), and the Indianapolis Propylaeum (built in 1888). Old Northside is located south of East 16th Street, extending to I-65. It is between Pennsylvania Street and Lewis Street. In addition to its historic homes, the neighborhood features several pocket parks and the Frank & Judy O'Bannon Soccer Park.
