About this property

Christian Park School No. 82 is a historic school building located at Indianapolis, Indiana. It was built in 1931, and is a two-story, rectangular, Colonial Revival style brick building with a two-story addition built in 1955. It has a gable roof with paired end chimneys, balustrade, and an octagonal cupola. The building was originally known as "New" School 82 because it replaced "Old" School 82, which was a temporary building nearby on the same street. The student bodies from both "Old" School 82 and School 77 were merged into the new building when it opened. E. F Echolds was the first principal of the new school. The school was named for Christian Park, which is directly west of the school. After the death of the well-known physician Wilmer Christian in 1923, his wife Edna had donated 75 acres (30 ha) to the city of Indianapolis for a public park. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
