About this property
Collett Park Neighborhood Historic District is a residential area in Terre Haute, surrounding Collett Park. Collett Park was established in 1883 and named after its benefactor, Josephus Collett. A community of residents soon formed around it, living mainly in large, single-family houses that were set up in a grid around the park. Many of the homes were built between 1900 and 1920 and are of various architectural styles, including Queen Anne Style, Free Classic, Shingle Style and Colonial Revival. The area, with its tree-lined streets and impressive dwellings, became a fashionable place for the established residents of Terre Haute to live.
