Ravenswood, Indianapolis

Ravenswood is a neighborhood in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.[1][2] It is located on the city's north side, between 71st and 75th streets, Keystone Avenue, and the White River.

In the early 20th century, Ravenswood was a lively resort area with few permanent residents.[3] In the mid-1940s, the local Volunteer Fire Department had an annual fish fry and weekly movies on the beach. Flooding is a continual problem for the neighborhood.[1][4][5]
