Housing and window planning in Ardmore

Ardmore's houses run from about 1,650 to 2,100 square feet, and most are two stories. American Foursquare houses dominate Meridian-Kessler south of 44th Street, a stretch that includes these blocks, so the square plan two story is the common form here. The 1914 houses on Park Avenue are faced in vinyl and brick, while the 1915 houses on Ruckle Street are wood and stone. Covered front porches run across the Park Avenue houses and the 1916 Ruckle Street houses. Basements add finished space in some, around 530 square feet with lookout windows, and the 1916 houses have egress windows.

The neighborhood's housing gives us a starting point for the visit. We'll still measure your house individually, including any openings that have changed during an update. If you're replacing windows as part of the project, let us know before the treatments are ordered so the plan can use the finished frames.

What to check at the windows in Ardmore

Replacement windows are common in Ardmore. The 1915 houses on Ruckle Street have new windows in the family room and newly installed patio French doors, and most windows in the 1916 houses are new. The 1914 houses on Park Avenue stand apart, with custom leaded glass windows near the fireplace and a first floor sunroom. Decorative glass of that kind usually stays uncovered, and the crew builds the treatment around it. A sunroom with glass on more than one wall commonly gets a separate shade for each exposure, and a bathroom skylight needs a shade that rides in side tracks.

We'll look at the way light enters your Ardmore rooms and check how the windows operate. The treatment needs to suit the opening when it's lowered and when it's raised. That includes the space for the hardware and the access you'll need to use the window.

Products to compare for your Ardmore home

These are options to discuss during your Ardmore consultation. We'll narrow the choice after seeing the glass and learning which rooms you're working on. You can review a coordinated plan for the house or start with the rooms that need attention first.

Around Ardmore in Meridian-Kessler

The houses sit in the 3800 and 3900 blocks of Park Avenue and Ruckle Street. Just south, 38th Street was called Maple Road until George Kessler redesigned it as a parkway in 1905, and it forms the south boundary of Meridian-Kessler. Washington Park lies a few blocks to the northwest between Pennsylvania Street and Central Avenue. Ardmore falls within Indianapolis Public Schools, with Shortridge High School as the neighborhood high school.

Association checks in Ardmore

Ardmore has no homeowners association. The Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association, formed in 1965, is the area wide group, and the crew checks with it before ordering anything that shows from the street, since these blocks sit at the edge of the neighborhood along the 38th Street parkway.
