The
legend of The Legend
Irvington echoes throughout Indianapolis as the Sleepy
Hollow of the Eastside. Historic houses, winding brick roads, and
old magic meld together to form a community dripping with stories
and legends. The Benton House and Butler University, the Irving
Theatre, the D.C. Stevenson House, Ellenberger Park, and the
circles; all are part of the history and mystery of
Irvington.
Who knew that when Irvington's founders named their
beloved town after their favorite author, Washington Irving, the
neighborhood would have all the same qualities as the quiet towns
in Irving's legendary tales-Rip Van Winkle, and The Legend of
Sleepy Hollow.
We are here to continue the legacy of legends in
Irvington, to resurrect some old ones, and to create new
ones.
These legends live and breathe in our
hollow.
