The History of Fletcher Place
Established in 1825 by Calvin Fletcher, Sr., Fletcher Place began as personal farmland, called Woodlawn, and was eventually plotted out in 1857. Calvin Fletcher was the first attorney in town, was on the school board, in the Indiana General Assembly, founded the American Fletcher National Bank and was a trustee of now named DePauw University. Fletcher also contributed greatly to the construction of the stunning Fletcher Place United Methodist Church. This church was built on farmland he donated and is a wonderful architectural stop on your tour of the neighborhood. Follow the diagonal lines of the streets and imagine the ringing bells of the church or the bell a trolley rolling by on it’s way from stop to stop. A tapestry of history is woven throughout the streets inside the borders of Fletcher Place, if you take the time to look around.
