Forgive me if I offer my 2 cents. I do look-ups in city directories for my town and
I've never seen one with listings by street. They're listed by surnames,
alphabetically.

This one is simple. Just go to the State Library and get a city directory
and you can see who lived on Oriental St. in the 1900's. I too, didn't know
that Holy Cross neighborhood was very Irish. Bob

I'd be interested to hear more about the families who lived on S.
Oriental. My great-great-grandparents lived on S. Oriental in
the the late 1800s and early 1900s. They lived a block or so south
of E. Washington and I didn't realize it was considered an Irish
neighborhood. They and most of their neighbors were German.
I just Googled Irish Hill and found an article at
http://www.nuvo.net/archive/2005/09/14/the_irish_in_indianapolis.html
that gives the boundaries and a bit about it. Interesting, too bad I
don't have any Irish from Indy.
If others have stories of families on S. Oriental I'd be interested
to hear with you.
Kind regards,
Joel

I am resurrecting a free Newsletter I started some time ago called
The
Irish-Everywhere Newsletter. I know there was a large contingent of
Irish in
Indianapolis because my daughter went to the grade school in the
Irish area of
Indy at what was called Irish Hill. That school was Holy Cross Central
Catholic on Oriental Avenue, just north of Washington Street.
If anyone has an itch to write an article for the newsletter about the
Irish
neighborhood in Indianapolis, I hope you will contact me.
Barbara and Darlene, let me know if you are interested in writing for the
Newsletter. The site is in the process of being renovated and the original
Newsletter will be located at the site. I hope to have the
entire renovation
complete by the end of December, with a new issue to be
posted, hopefully, by
Christmas.
