Irvington is a unique Indianapolis neighborhood, which still maintains its “small town” feel. Irvington is also a little quirky; its curving streets can be confusing, but almost every step one takes along the sidewalks of Irvington carries with it a story of the past and the not so distant past. Since Greater Irvington was first published, additional information and photographs have come to light. Greater Irvington II incorporates these new findings and provides an expanded and richer understanding of what embodies the physical Irvington of yesterday and today and the ethos of the community.
